    Overlay
    Overlay Printing allows to overlay the document created in any Windows application onto a 
    preselected form file.
    For example, if there is a form file containing a company name, logo, or address, it will be 
    printed in the same position on each page of the document altogether with the print data 
    created in an application.
    You can easily create perfectly formatted documents with the same appearance from any 
    Windows application.
    Overlay Form File Formats
    For overlay forms you can use files in the following formats:
    • Windows Metafile (WMF)
    • Windows Bitmap (BMP)
    Creating an Overlay Form File
    Before using Overlay Printing, you need to create an overlay form file in an application. To 
    create a form file you can use both applications from Windows 95/98/Me package and 
    commercially available software.
    • Windows Metafile (WMF)
    Windows metafile format is used in most commercially available draw applications. Create 
    the form data and save it in the metafile format.
    • Windows BMP Bitmap (BMP)
    You can easily create a form file in this format using software included in the Windows 
    95/98/Me package, such as Paint. Windows 95/98/Me desktop wallpapers are also created in 
    this format. There is also a number of commercially available software (e.g. Corel PhotoPaint) 
    that use this format. Create the form data using such software and save it as a BMP file.

    ■Quality Tab
    Specifies the resolution, halftoning method, brightness, and contrast settings.
    Resolution lets you specify the printer’s resolution in dots per inch (600 dpi,300 dpi).
    Halftones is the process of converting a greyscale image to black dots and white (unprinted) 
    dots that simulate the grey shades in the original image. Different halftone patterns give 
    different grey shade results.
    Brightness is the relative proportion of light and dark areas. Decreasing brightness darkens 
    the overall image; increasing brightness lightens it. Brightness is expressed as a relative range 
    from -80% to +80%.
    Contrast is the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. 
    Decreasing contrast lightens the dark areas and darkens the light areas; increasing it darkens 
    the dark areas and lightens the light areas. Contrast is expressed as a relative range from -80% 
    to +80%.
