Overlay
This option is available only when you use the PCL/SPL printer driver (see "Software" on page 6).
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.
