!  #You can add a watermark to each page in your document to emphasize 
its purpose or indicate how it should be handled. For example, you may 
want to add a watermark of the word “Confidential” to documents you 
don’t want distributed to other parties. Or you can add a custom bitmap of 
your company logo so your document looks like printed letterhead.
Follow these steps to add a watermark:
1Follow the steps in Printing from Windows
 to access the printer 
settings dialog box. 
2Click the Layout tab. You see the Layout dialog box.
3To select a watermark, click the Watermark drop-down list.
Then highlight one of the following watermarks:
To turn off your watermark, select None from the drop-down list. Confidential

To add a custom 
watermark, you must 
first create the 
watermark as a bitmap 
in an application 
program that can 
create bitmap files. 
See your application’s 
documentation for 
instructions.
If you selected a 
multiple page layout 
option (as described in 
Using Multiple Page Layouts and Page Frames
), your 
watermark will appear 
on each page in the 
layout.
