Using Overlays 
						

							What is an Overlay?
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 companys 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.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or
image.
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.
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.
