6.Click OK, and when prompted for a print file name, enter a meaningful name with the extension .PRN.
7.Close your application.
Step 2: Create and download macros
NOTE
Ensure that the Storage Device Manager has been installed (on the Printer Drivers CD, “Software Utilities”).
1.From the Windows Start/Programs/Okidata menu, start Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer.
2.Choose Projects→New Project to start a new project.
3.Choose Projects→Filter Macro File. The Filter Printer Patterns dialogue box appears. Make any adjustments in the settings that you need and then click OK.
Example: If you create a black oval in MS Paint and leave all the colour command filters checked, the black oval will print as a black rectangle when the overlay is used. To maintain the oval shape, turn off (deselect) the “Configure Image Data,” “Palette ID” and “Palette Control” filters.
4.Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files (*.prn).
5.Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are stored and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.
You can have more than one macro file in a project. For example, one for top pages and another for continuation pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.
6.Click Open to add these files to the current project. (You can also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer directly into the project window if you prefer.) When a message box appears confirming that a filter file has been created, click OK to clear the message.
