Using Page Overlay
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD
as a special file format that can be printed on any document
you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay
containing the exact same information that is currently on
your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with
your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted
letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer
to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
What is an Overlay?
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.
1
Create or open a document containing a text or image you
want to use for page overlay. Position the items exactly as
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If
needed, save the file for later use.
2
Select Print from the File menu. Then click Properties in
the application’s Print dialog box to access the printer
properties. For details, see page 5.1.
