PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS

Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them for any documents you wish. The example illustrated here uses two overlays for business letters. The first prints on just the top page, and the second prints on any or all subsequent pages.

1.Prepare your document in the normal way using your own application software. Remember, if necessary, to format the document so that it will fit within the appropriate space.

2.Open your application’s Print… dialogue and choose any options you will require, ensuring that the target printer is your PostScript printer driver in which the overlays have been defined.

3.Click the Properties button to open the Printing Preferences window.

choose Use Overlay from

the drop-down list (1).
