CREATING POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS
Three steps are required to create an overlay:
1.Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file.
2.Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN file(s), and download the generated filter (.HST) file to the printer. The project file will contain one or more overlay images which are functionally related, such as the cover page and the continuation page images for business letters.
3.Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for use when printing your documents.
When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special features, such as
