S=SUBOVERLAY

If you are printing general company info in several overlays, i.e. the company letter head, it is convenient to place this info in a separate overlay. With this function you can place such information in an overlay that can be called as a sub-overlay from any other overlays. Ie. changing e.g. the phone number only have to do be done in this overlay.

The name of the overlay to be used as sub-overlay. If the name entered here is MACROxxxxx where xxxxx represents a numeric number (e.g. MACRO00001) InterForm400® will make a PCL macro call using this number. This will require the PCL macro to be loaded into the printer prior to using the main overlay. The PCL file can be loaded into the printer by the InterForm400® HPMACRO command (see page 402, 416).

M WARNING M

Global settings of the sub-overlay, inserted by the S=Suboverlay, will be ignored as

This function will insert a comment in your overlay definition. Introducing a comment line in the overlay definition is for easy overview purposes only and will not affect the resulting print.
