Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Using a Page Overlay

After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your document. To print an overlay with a document:

1

Create or open the document you want to print.

2

To change the print settings from your software

 

application, access printer properties. See “Printing a

 

Document” on page 12.

3

Click the Extras tab.

4

Select the desired overlay from the Overlay drop-down

 

list box.

5

If the overlay file you want does not appear in the

 

Overlay list, click Edit button and Load Overlay, and

 

select the overlay file.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay

section.

4In the Edit Overlay window, click Create Overlay.

6Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box.

7Click OK or Yes to finish creating.

The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your computer hard disk drive.

NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.

external source, you can also load the file when you access

the Load Overlay window.

After you select the file, click Open. The file appears in the

Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the

overlay from the Overlay List box.

document.
