OVERLAYS AND MACROS (WINDOWS ONLY)
WHAT ARE OVERLAYS AND MACROS?
If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and 
letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you 
can create your own using these advanced features.
You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special 
stationery and store it in the printer for use whenever you need 
it. If you have chosen to install the PCL driver, macros perform a 
similar function.
You can create several overlays or macros, and combine them in 
any way you like to produce a variety of forms and other special 
stationery. Each image can be printed on just the first page of a 
document, on all pages, on alternate pages, or just the pages 
that you specify.
NOTE:
PostScript overlays are not available for Windows 95/98/Me.

CREATING POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS
Three steps are required to create an overlay:
1.Create the form data using your own application software 
and print it to a printer (.PRN) file.
2.Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied 
on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import 
the.PRN file(s), and download the generated filter (.HST) 
file to the printer. The project file will contain one or more 
overlay images which are functionally related, such as the 
cover page and the continuation page images for business 
letters.
3.Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for use 
when printing your documents.
When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special 
features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are 
not appropriate to overlays, they apply only to your final 
documents.
CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE
1.Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics 
program, to create the required overlay image and save 
it.
2.Open your 
application’s Print… 
dialogue.
3.Make sure that the 
selected printer 
name (1) is that of 
your PostScript 
printer driver.
4.Select the Print To 
File(2) option.
5.Click the Properties button (3) to open the Document 
Properties window.
