Sometimes a logo or signature is required to be inserted dependent upon a condition. To do this you would first select the Conditional element and then click on the Image icon 
or press 6. Then on the Output pane using your mouse draw a small box. Next you will need to select the image that you would like to include. If you then look at the Explorer View you will need to drag the Image element into the previous Conditional element.
Notes:
•If you wish to include a colour image and you have not set your default image export format to JPEG then you will need to change the image properties to select the JPEG format. Click on the Image tab of the Properties box to change the format. The JPEG Quality value can be 0-100 where 0 is the worst quality. The better the quality the larger the size of the image.
•You may also specify data from the input spooled file which is the name of the graphic that you wish to use. This graphic must have been previously uploaded to the IBM i. To do this you select the Or position radio button on the Image tab and select the area of the input spooled file which holds the name of the graphic you wish to insert.
•If you wish to include an image of Terms and Conditions then please see the Adding Terms & Conditions topic.
•If you have images that frequently change you may wish to consider the following:
