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 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.
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.
2When you change the print settings from your software application, access the printer 
properties.
3Click the Advanced tab and click Edit... in the Overlay section.

by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm).

• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies or documents having other unusual 
characteristics.
