Using a Page Overlay

 

After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your document. To print an overlay with a document:

1.

Create or open the document you want to print.

2.

To change the print settings from your software application, access the printer properties.

3.

Click the Other Options tab.

4.

Select the overlay you want to print from the Overlay drop-down list box.

5.

If the overlay file does not appear on the Overlay List, click Edit and then Load Overlay, and select the overlay file.

 

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. If needed, save the file for later use.

2.

When you change the print settings from your software application, access the printer properties.

3.

Click the Other Options tab and click Edit in the Overlay section.

4.

In the Edit Overlays window, click Create Overlay.

5.

In the Create Overlay 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. You can see the name in the Overlay List.

7.

Click OK or Yes until you complete creating.

The file is not printed out; it is stored in your computer.

NOTE:

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

watermark.

NOTE:

The resolution of the overlay must be the same as the resolution of the document that will print with the overlay.
