Creating and Using Watermarks

The Watermark options allow you to specify that text be placed “underneath” (in the background) of an existing document. For example, you may want to have large gray letters reading “draft” or “confidential” placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document.

Note

Watermarks are available only with the HP PCL 6 (Windows), Windows

 

NT 4.0 PS, and LaserWriter printer drivers.
