Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell the machine to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a page overlay containing a logo or image.

1Create or open 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.

2To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See page 4.2.

3Click the Extras tab and click Edit in the Overlay section.
