Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the printer driver to use the overlays.

NOTE

If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.

If the software application being used has a collate print option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate correctly.

An overlay may consist of more than one component files.

Creating Documents To Use As Overlays

An overlay can be created in any software application that can handle logos, letterheads, forms, etc. and can print to a file.

1.With the file to be stored as an overlay open in your application program, choose File then Print.

2.Ensure that the Print To File option is switched on in your application's Print dialog box.

3.Depending on the application, you may need to select your printer model, and then click Properties… This should open the printer driver settings.

4.Select the Overlay tab.

5.Choose Create Form from the drop-down list, then make your selections in the dialog box which appears and click OK.

6.Click Print.

Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you to save the print job on your PC's hard disk. Give the file a meaningful name.
