Carrying out Overlay Printing
Overlay printing is a printer function which internally combines two pieces of data, i.e., the fixed data created in
advanced as a “form file” commonly printed on all pages, and the data on each page of a document (variable data
such as characters), and prints them together page by page.
Data using a template containing many images can be printed without transferring large-capacity image data to
the printer multiple times, allowing the data to be printed quickly.
