PRINTING OVERLAYS
What are Overlays?
An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is
stored in the printer’s flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on
some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.
The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to
be much more elaborate.
Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,
or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.
An example of using Overlays:
Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer
using the Storage Device Manager:
• the company logo.
• the company address.
• the company mission statement.
The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your
document in various combinations, depending on your
requirements.
To create overlays:
1. In your application, create the document that you wish to use
for Overlay printing (e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file
(print file) using the printer driver.
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file
(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the
printer.
