We have done exactly the same thing. I called IBM and then sent them the signature on paper. (There are rules for size and placement.) They scanned it and created a page segment. If you have AFP installed, you can do this yourself, but we don't and for a one-time shot, this way was cheaper and easier.
We received a tape from IBM with the appropriate files, which are then installed into a library on the 400. It was then a matter of inserting one line of code into the DDS for the print file to have the signature print.
It was so easy I couldn't believe it. I looked up the documentation and there is a phone number for the IBM Application Solutions Group - 303-924-6700. I guess you could start there.
These are the lines in the prtf.
A*
A R SPECSIG
A OVERLAY(MMD119/O1MMD30A 9.7 5.3)
MMD119 is the library and 01MMD30A is the file. The 9.7 and 5.3 refer to placement on the page.

Does anyone out there have any information regarding printing a signature on the JDE A/P Check(P04572)program? Our current need to to have the signature print on the check as the check is being printed from the JDE system. Our A/P checks are pre-printed from our supplier with the appropriate logo, MICRs, etc. All we need is the signature to be added. The checks are printed on an HP Laserjet 5P printer. I realize there are software vendors that provide the entire laser printing of the check including the logo, MICRs, etc. Because we have a large supply of pre-printed checks, we only need the signature added to the printing process. Eventually, we will be producing the entire check through the laser printing operation on blank check stock.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
