Using overlay
This option is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
What is an overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard drive (HDD) as a
special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used
to take the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead,
you can create an overlay containing exactly the same information that is
currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead,
you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the machine just print
the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a new page overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo
or image.
1
Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new
page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear
when printed as an overlay.
2 To save the document as an overlay, access Printing Preferences (see
"Opening printing preferences" on page 66).
3 Click the Advanced tab, and select Create from the Overlay drop-down
list.
4 In the Save As window, type a name up to eight characters in the File
name box. Select the destination path, if necessary (The default is
C:\Formover).
5 Click Save .
6 Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
When a confirming message window appears, click Yes .
7 The file is not printed. Instead, it is stored on your computer hard disk
drive.
The overlay document size must be the same as the document you print
with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
