CREATING PCL 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, and download the generated filter (.BIN) files to the printer.

3.Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use with any future document.

When printing files to disk, do not select any special features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are not appropriate to macros, they apply only to your final documents.

CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE

1.Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program, to create the required image and save it.

2.Open your application’s

Print… dialogue.
