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’s 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 a 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 ope
n 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 doc
ument as an overlay, access Printing Preferences
(see "Opening printing preferences" on page 101).
3. Click the Advanced tab, and select Edit... from the Text drop-down
list.
4. In
the Edit Overlay window, click Create.
5. 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).
6. Click Save. Th
e name appears on the Overlay List.
7. Click OK or Print
until you exit the Print window.
8. The
file is not printed. Instead, it is stored on your computer’s hard
disk drive.
