Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive
(HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document.
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and
letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can
create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently
on your letterhead. 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.
Creating a New Page 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 text or an image for use in a
new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to
appear when printed as an overlay.
2 To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See
“Printing a Document” on page 13.
3 From the Advanced tab, select Edit from the Text drop-down list.
The Edit Overlay window appears.
4 In the Edit Overlay window, click Create.
5 In the Save As window, type a name of up to eight characters in
the File name box. Select the destination path, if necessary. (The
default is C:\Formover.)
6 Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List.
7 Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your computer hard
disk drive.
N OTE
: The overlay document size must be the same as the documents
you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.

List
box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the
