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.
