Advanced Printing

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.

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay 
containing your logo or image.

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.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 14.

From the Advanced tab, select Edit from the Text drop-
down list. The Edit Overlay window appears. 

In the Edit Overlay window, click Create. 

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.)

Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List. 

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. 

: The overlay document size must be the same as the 

documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay 
with a watermark.

your document. To print an overlay with a document:

Create or open the document you want to print. 

To change the print settings from your software 
application, access printer properties. See “Printing a 
Document” on page 14. 

Click the Advanced tab.

If the overlay file you want does not appear in the Text 
drop-down list, select Edit from the list and click Load. 
Select the overlay file you want to use. 

If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an 
external source, you can also load the file when you access 
the Load window. 

After you select the file, click Open. The file appears in the 
Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the 
overlay from the Overlay List box. 

If necessary, check Confirm Page Overlay When 
Printing box. If this box is checked, a message window 
appears each time you submit a document for printing, 
asking you to confirm your wish to print an overlay on your 
document. 

If this box is not checked and an overlay has been 
selected, the overlay automatically prints with your 
document. 

Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
