Using Overlays

NOTE

Before overlays can be printed, they must be created in a software application and saved as a print file, then downloaded to the printer’s internal hard disk drive or flash memory using Storage Device Manager.

General Information

To use overlays, the Storage Device Manager software must be installed.

You can save logos, letterheads, etc. as overlays

•on the printer’s 20 GB internal hard disk drive or

•in the printer’s flash memory

(available space limited to about 0.5 MB each for PCL Macros and PostScript Forms)

then add one or any combination of them to a file as it is being printed.

Use overlays

•in place of pre-printed stationery

•to add your logo or company address to a document

•to create forms from pre-stored modular pieces.

Important!

When the hard disk drive is installed, you must use the Shutdown Menu before turning the printer off.

•Overlay elements must be created in the software application of your choice, then stored on the printer’s hard drive using Storage Device Manager before they can be used.
