Printing with Extended Print Functionality 271
Creating An Overlay File
You can print a document as an overlay file. The created overlay file can then be merged into
another document during printing.
P.286 “Printing with an Overlay File”
y If the print job has several pages in the document, only the first page of the document will be
saved as an overlay file.
y Both the overlay file and the documents on which you superimpose the overlay image must
be created at the same size, color mode, and orientation, and resolution.
y When creating an overlay file using the PSL3 printer driver from an application that can cre-
ate the PS command directly, the overlay file will not be created properly. In that case, dis-
able the “Use PostScript Passthrough” option in the PostScript Settings dialog box.
