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.
