Using storage form overlay

This function enables faster printing with form overlay data. Windows users can use the form data registered on the USB memory installed in the printer’s USB Host interface or delete the form data on the USB memory. You can access this function from the Form Selection dialog box in the printer driver.

Note:

This function is not available if the USB memory is not installed on the USB Host interface of the printer.

When the document’s resolution, paper size or paper orientation settings are different from the form overlay data that you use, you cannot print the document with the form overlay data.

This function is available only in ESC/Page mode.

This function is available in the High Quality (Printer) mode.

We recommend using a USB memory that has less than 2 GB of memory. Accessing USB memories that have more than 2 GB of memory may take too long.

If a large numbers of files are in the USB memory, accessing the USB memory may take too long.

If accessing the USB memory takes too long, try formatting it to improve the access speed.
