yIf the print job has several pages in the document, only the first page of the document will be saved as an overlay file.

yBoth the overlay file and the documents on which you superimpose the overlay image must be created at the same size, color mode, and orientation.

yWhen creating an overlay file using the PS3 printer driver from an application that can create the PS command directly, the overlay file will not be created properly. In that case, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript Settings dialog box.
