Please take a look at our Print Wizard product. You send your
Pick-generated printfile to Print Wizard (by one of several means), and it
does all the heavy lifting. For the scenario you have described, there are
two possible approaches:
1) Build an overlay file, that has your logo and other static data to be
printed on every page, using Word, Excel, Publisher, or whatever. Export
as EMF, or print-to-file as PCL-5. Tell PW to use this as an overlay. From
Universe, send your print job as either plain text or PCL-5.
OR
2) Alter your program to output a bit of Print Wizard Markup Language
(PWML) at the beginning of the job, telling PW to draw an image (<IMG>) at
the correct place on the page. PWML is similar to HTML.
The output of PW can be printout on any printer (not necessarily PCL-5),
PDF, PDF-and-email-it, fax, TIF, or TIF-and-email-it.
A demo version is on the web site below. And we're eager to help.
(This is not a Pick-only product, so there's a lot of general information
in the documentation. We can help you weed through that.)
