VERLAYS
An overlay is text or graphics stored in your computer as a
special file format that can be printed on any given
document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted or letterhead paper. When you want to print a
letter, for example, you do not need to load the preprinted
letterhead in the paper tray. You just tell the printer to print
the letterhead overlay on your document.
