Using Watermarks
The Watermark option allows you to print text over an existing
document. For example, you may want to have large gray
letters reading “DRAFT” or “CONFIDENTIAL” printed diagonally
across the first page or all pages of a document.
There are several predefined watermarks that come with the
printer, and they can be modified, or you can add new ones to
the list.
