132 • Overlays and Macros (Windows only)

2. Open your application’s Print… dialog and choose any options you will require, 

ensuring that the target printer is your PostScript printer driver in which the 

overlays have been defined.

3. Click the Properties button to open the Printing Preferences window.
4. On the Overlays tab, choose Use Overlay from the 

drop-down list (1).

5. Click on the first overlay (2) you wish to use. In this 

example it is the Cover Page overlay. Then click the 

Add button (3).

6. If you want to use another overlay, in this case it is the 

Continuation page, click the second overlay (4) and 

then click the Add button (3) again.

7. When you have selected all the overlays you want to 

use for this document, click OK.

8. Finally, in your application’s print dialog, click OK to begin printing.

Three steps are required to create an overlay:
1. Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer 

(.PRN) file.

2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on CD with your printer 

to create a “project file,” import the .PRN file, and download the generated filter 

(.BIN) files to the printer.

3. Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use with any future 

document.

When printing files to disk, do not select any special features, such as two-sided 

printing or multiple copies. These are not appropriate to macros, they apply only 

to your final documents.

1. Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program, to create the 

required image and save it.

2. Open your application’s Print… dialog.
3. Make sure that the selected printer name (1) is that of 

your PCL printer driver.

4. Select the Print To File (2) option.
5. When prompted for a print file name, enter a 

meaningful name with the extension .PRN .

6. Close your application.
