Overlays and Macros
(Windows Only)
What are overlays and macros?
If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms
and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery,
you can create your own using these advanced features.
You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special
stationery and store it in the printer for use whenever you
need it. If you have chosen to install the PCL driver, macros
perform a similar function.
You can create several overlays or macros, and combine them
in any way you like to produce a variety of forms and other
special stationery. Each image can be printed on just the first
page of a document, on all pages, on alternate pages, or just
the pages that you specify.
Creating PostScript overlays
Three steps are required to create an overlay:
1.
Create the form data using your own application
software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file.
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software
supplied on CD with your printer to create a “project
file,” import the.PRN file(s), and download the
generated filter (.HST) file to the printer. The project file
will contain one or more overlay images which are
functionally related, such as the cover page and the
continuation page images for business letters.
3. Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for
use when printing your documents.
When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special
features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These
are not appropriate to overlays, they apply only to your final
documents.
