Overlays

What are Overlays?

An overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is stored in the printer's flash memory or on the hard disk (optional), and printed whenever required. The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to be much more elaborate.

Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms, or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.

Example of Using Overlays

Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer using the Storage Device Manager:

•the company logo

•the company address

•the company mission statement.

The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your document in various combinations, depending on your requirements.
