Printing with Watermark/Overlay
This section explains how to print documents with text watermarks using the printer driver.
The watermark function prints text or an image over every page of a document. This function is useful for
security or content identification. There are two type of watermark available: "Image" and "Text".
Select "Image" if you want to print a bitmap image (*.bmp) as the watermark. Select "Text" if you want to
print text as the watermark image. You can specify only one type of watermark at a time.
1. Create a document using an appropriate application. Then, in the application's [File] menu,
click [Printing Preferences...].
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
2. To use an existing Custom Setting, click the icon in the [Custom Setting name:] box.
If you do not wish to modify a custom setting that is already registered in the printer driver, change
settings such as paper size and source tray as required, and then proceed to step 8.
3. Click [Add/Change Custom Settings...].
4. Click the [Edit] tab, if it is not already selected.
5. Select the [Watermarks/Overlay] check box, and then select the type of the watermarks
from the list.
To change the specified watermark, click [Edit].
6. Change any other print settings if necessary, and then click [Save As...]
If you are modifying an existing setting and want to overwrite the previous setting, click the [Save]
button and then proceed to step 8.
7. In the [Custom Setting name:] box, enter an appropriate name for the settings, and then
click [OK].
8. Click [OK] to close the printer preferences dialog box.
9. Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.
• You do not have to select a watermark from those that are pre-registered in the printer driver: you can
create and apply custom watermarks also.
• For details about creating original watermarks, see the printer driver Help.
