SECTION 3

OPERATING THE PRINTER

Feed Delay - Used to put more space between the pieces as they are being printed. This will also give the first piece printed more time to dry before the next piece is printed. The adjustment range is in 0.1- second increments. This feature works at all speeds.

Overlay - Used to save processing time when you are combining a database with fixed information or graphics. The default is “No overlay”.

Note: Some software programs, such as FlexMail3 and Satori Bulk Mailer can generate and download the overlay automatically. In these cases, you do not need to perform the following routine.

To use the Overlay feature with software (such as DeskTop Mailer) that does not automatically generate and download the overlay to the printer; you must follow this routine.

1.First create a layout in your software application; placing all of the fixed information and graphics on this layout, where you would like it printed on your media.

2.Open the layout and go to Print in the File menu.

3.Click on Features and then click on Overlay.

4.Select “Contains overlay” from the box, then click on Apply and OK.

5.Next click OK on the “Print” window. The overlay will download to the printer.

6.Now open the job that contains the variable data.

7.Using File then Print, from the drop down menu, open the “Print” window for the application.

8.Click on Properties then on the Features tab.

9.Then click on the drop down menu under Overlay and click on "Previous job contains overlay".

10.Click Apply and then OK.

11.When the Print window reappears, click OK to send the job to the printer.

Overlay Tips:

To print the next job with a different overlay; repeat the process outlined above.

If you wish to print additional jobs using the same overlay, simply open the next job and send it to the printer.

If the next job does not contain an overlay, then click on Properties in the “Print” window, select Overlay, then “No overlay”. Click Apply, then OK.

Turning the printer OFF, then ON will clear the overlay from printer memory.
