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 software supplied
on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import
the.PRN file(s), and download the generated filter (.HST)
file to the printer. The project file will contain one or more
overlay images which are functionally related, such as the
cover page and the continuation page images for business
letters.
3. Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for use
when printing your documents.
When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special
features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are
not appropriate to overlays, they apply only to your final
documents.
