Using 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 letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing exactly the 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 machine just 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 Printing Preferences (See

Opening printing preferences

).

3. Click the Advanced tab, and select Edit from the Text drop-down list. 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.
8. The file is not printed. Instead, it is stored on your computer hard disk drive.

The overlay document size must be the same as the document you print with the overlay. Do not create an
overlay with a watermark.
