Printer Properties
Overlay
Overlay Printing allows to overlay the document created in any Windows application onto a
preselected form file.
For example, if there is a form file containing a company name, logo, or address, it will be
printed in the same position on each page of the document altogether with the print data
created in an application.
You can easily create perfectly formatted documents with the same appearance from any
Windows application.
Overlay Form File Formats
For overlay forms you can use files in the following formats.
• Windows Metafile
• Windows BMP
Creating an Overlay Form File
Before using Overlay Printing, you need to create an overlay form file in an application. To
create a form file you can use both applications from Windows 95/98/Me package and
commercially available software.
• Windows Metafile
Windows metafile format is used in most commercially available draw applications. Create
the form data and save it in the metafile format.
• Windows BMP
You can easily create a form file in this format using software included in the Windows
95/98/Me package, such as Paint. Windows 95/98/Me desktop wallpapers are also created in
this format. There is also a number of commercialy available software, e.g. Corel PhotoPaint,
that use this format. Create the form data using such software and save it as a BMP file.
