Overlays

What are Overlays?

An overlay is a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is stored and printed whenever required.

An overlay is stored in the printer's flash memory or on the hard disk (optional).

An overlay is similar to a watermark. However, an overlay can be much more elaborate than a watermark.

Overlays can

replace as pre-printed stationery

add your logo or company address to a document

create forms.

When to Use Overlays

Use overlays to print letterheads, forms, or invoices.

Using overlays can reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.

Example of Using Overlays

Use the Storage Device Manager to create and store three files in the printer:

the company logo

the company address

the company mission statement.

Use the Overlay feature to place these files into your document.

You can use the files in many different combinations, according to your changing requirements.
