Overlay
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk
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.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.
• The overlay document size must be the same as the
document you print with the overlay. Do not create an
overlay with a watermark.
• The resolution of the overlay document must be the same
as that of the document you will print with the overlay.
