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 13.
3	Click the Advanced tab.
4	Select the desired overlay from the Text drop-down list.
5	If the overlay file you want does not appear in the Text drop-down
	list, select Edit from the list and click Load. Select the overlay file
	you want to use.
	If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an external
	source, you can also load the file when you access the Load
