OVERLAYS AND MACROS > 162

Three steps are required to create an overlay:

Create the form data using your own application software and 
print it to a printer (.PRN) file.

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.

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.

CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE

Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program, 
to create the required image and save it.

Open your application’s 
Print… dialogue.

Make sure that the 
selected printer name (1) 
is that of your PCL printer 
driver.

Select the 

Print To File (2) 

option.

When prompted for a print file name, enter a meaningful name 
with the extension .PRN .

Close your application.
