Printing using an overlay or a watermark

Overlays and watermarks are templates that can be defined and then printed as a background on a form before the data from the current job is printed. Typical examples of overlays include company logos or letterheads, decorative borders, and simulated “preprinted” forms. Overlays can include text, graphics, or images. Watermarks are simple text. You can create overlays and watermarks and then download them directly to the printer, or you can create an overlay or watermark file on your system and then download it to the printer.

Note: To create and download overlays, you must have flash memory installed.

For information about how to create, save, or download an overlay or watermark, see the printer driver Help.
