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 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 dialog.
3. Make sure that the selected printer name (1) is that of
your PCL printer driver.
4. Select the Print To File (2) option.
5. When prompted for a print file name, enter a
meaningful name with the extension .PRN .
6. Close your application.
