Back page overlay	*VAR		Code for placement B (B=back page F=front)
F4=Prompt			F11=Delete this overlay	F12=Cancel
F13=Set print parameters
Prefix		The first part of the back page overlay name. The
		overlay which is called by this function consists of this
		prefix plus the character string found by Line number

and Position. For instance if the prefix is INV, and Line Number and Position finds the string 001, the back page overlay should be named INV001.

The Prefix must consists of minimum 1 character, which can not be a number. The Prefix plus the string found with Line Number and Position can not exceed a total of 10 characters.

Line Number: The print line in the spool entry defining the last part of the back page overlay name.

Position: The column interval containing the last part of the overlay name.

Code for Placement: The possibility of placing the back page overlay on the front of the physical printed page is a unique feature of the system, which overcomes a common problem for duplex printing on pre-printed forms. Normally a HP printer will print the back page of a duplex print first in order to have it faced down in the output tray. This means pre-printed forms has to be turned upside-down in the input paper tray depending on the print being simplex or duplex. When stating F (front) as code for placement you will not have to do this, as the system will reverse the order before printing.

J TIP J

An easy way of making “short bind” duplex, is to define the front page overlay as normal, but rotate the back page overlay 180 degrees.
