OVERLAYS
Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them
for any documents you wish. The example illustrated here uses
two overlays for business letters. The first prints on just the top
page, and the second prints on any or all subsequent pages.
1. Prepare your document in the normal way using your own
application software. Remember, if necessary, to format
the document so that it will fit nicely within the plain areas
on your letterhead overlay.
2. Open your application’s Print… dialogue and choose any
options you will require, ensuring that the target printer is
your PCL printer driver in which the overlays have been
defined.
3. Click the Properties button to open the Printing
Preferences window.
4. On the Overlay tab, check
the Use active overlays
checkbox (1).
5. In the Defined Overlays list,
click on the first overlay (2)
you wish to use, and click
the Add button (3) to add it
to the Active Overlays list.
(If you want a reminder of
how this overlay looks, click
the Test Print button.)
6. If you want to use another overlay with this document, in
this example it is the “Continuation Page” overlay, click
this overlay (4) in the list of defined overlays, and then
click the Add button (3) again to add the second overlay
to the list of active overlays.
7. When the list of active overlays contains all the items you
want to use, click OK.
8. Finally, click the Print button in your application’s Print
dialogue to begin printing your document.
