    PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS
    Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them 
    for any documents you wish. The example illustrated here uses 
    two overlays for business letters. The first prints on just the top 
    page, and the second prints on any or all subsequent pages.
    1.Prepare your document in the normal way using your own 
    application software. Remember, if necessary, to format 
    the document so that it will fit within the appropriate 
    space.
    2.Open your application’s Print… dialogue and choose any 
    options you will require, ensuring that the target printer is 
    your PostScript printer driver in which the overlays have 
    been defined.
    3.Click the Properties button to open the Printing 
    Preferences window.
    4.On the Overlays tab, 
    choose Use Overlay from 
    the drop-down list (1).
    5.Click on the first 
    overlay (2) you wish to 
    use. In this example it is 
    the Cover Page overlay. 
    Then click the Add 
    button (3).
    6.If you want to use 
    another overlay, in this 
    case it is the Continuation page, click the second 
    overlay (4) and then click the Add button (3) again.
    7.When you have selected all the overlays you want to use 
    for this document, click OK.
    8.Finally, in your application’s print dialogue, click OK to 
    begin printing.

    CREATING PCL 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, and download the generated filter (.BIN) 
    files to the printer.
    3.Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use 
    with any future document.
    When printing files to disk, do not select any special 
    features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. 
    These are not appropriate to macros, they apply only to 
    your final documents.
    CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE
    1.Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics 
    program, to create the required image and save it.
    2.Open your application’s 
    Print… dialogue.
    3.Make sure that the 
    selected printer 
    name (1) is that of your 
    PCL printer driver.
    4.Select the Print To 
    File(2) option.
    5.When prompted for a 
    print file name, enter a meaningful name with the 
    extension .PRN .
    6.Close your application.

    CREATE AND DOWNLOAD MACROS
    1.From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device 
    Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer.
    2.Choose Printers→New Project to start a new project.
    3.Choose Printers→Filter Macro File. The Filter Printer 
    Patterns dialogue box appears. Make any adjustments in 
    the settings that you need and then click OK.
    Example: If you create a black oval in MS Paint and leave 
    all the colour command filters checked, the black oval will 
    print as a black rectangle when the overlay is used. To 
    maintain the oval shape, turn off (deselect) the “Configure 
    Image Data,” “Palette ID” and “Palette Control” filters.
    4.Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN 
    Files(*.prn).
    5.Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are 
    stored and select one or more of these to include in your 
    overlay set.
    You can have more than one macro file in a project. For 
    example, one for top pages and another for continuation 
    pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl 
    keys) to select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.
    6.Click Open to add these files to the current project. (You 
    can also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer 
    directly into the project window if you prefer.) When a 
    message box appears confirming that a filter file has been 
    created, click OK to clear the message.
    7.The project window will display one .BIN file for each 
    printer file added. Make a careful note of the name and ID 
    number for each of the files. You will need them later.
    If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click 
    the file entry and edit the details. Volume details are as 
    follows:
    0 = printer’s disk drive PCL partition;
    1 = printer’s disk drive Common partition;
    %disk0% = printer’s disk drive PostScript partition;
    2 = flash memory PCL
    %Flash0% = flash memory PostScript

    Note that the names are case sensitive, and will be needed 
    later exactly as they appear in this list.
    8.Choose Projects→Save Project and enter a meaningful 
    name (e.g. “Letter Stationery”) so that you can recognise 
    it.
    9.Choose Projects→Send Project Files to Printer to 
    download the project to the printer.
    10.When the message “Command Issued” appears 
    confirming that the download is complete, click OK to 
    clear the message.
    TEST PRINTING THE MACRO
    1.Choose Printers→Test Macro.
    2.In the Test Macro window, enter its ID number and click 
    OK. After a short pause the printer will print the macro.
    3.When each macro has been tested, click Exit.
    4.Click the standard Windows Close (X) button, or choose 
    Projects→Exit to close Storage Device Manager.
    DEFINING OVERLAYS
    This is the final step before the new overlays are ready for use.
    1.Open the Printers (called “Printers and Faxes” in 
    Windows XP) window via the Start menu or the Windows 
    Control Panel.
    2.Right-click on the Relevant PostScript printer icon and 
    choose Printing Preferences from the pop-up menu.
    3.On the Job Options tab, click the Overlay button.

    4.In the Overlay window, Click 
    the Define Overlays 
    button(1).
    5.In the Define Overlays 
    window, enter the name(a) 
    and ID (b) of the required 
    overlay, and define which 
    page(s)(c) of your documents 
    will use this overlay. Then click 
    the Add button(3) to add this 
    overlay to the list of defined 
    overlays. Repeat for any other 
    related overlays. When done, 
    click the Close button(4) to 
    close the window.
    The example illustrated shows two overlays defined, one 
    for a cover page and one for continuation pages.
    Remember that names and IDs of overlay files must be 
    entered exactly as they appeared in the Storage Device 
    Manager project window. Remember also that names are 
    case sensitive.
    If you forgot to note the overlay name or ID when you 
    created them, you can find them using Storage Device 
    Manager to view the project file, or the printer’s 
    Information Menu to print a file list and identify them from 
    there.
    The new overlays will now appear in the Defined Overlays 
    list in the printer properties window.
    6.When done, click OK to close the printing preferences 
    window.
    Your new overlays are now ready and available to be used for any 
    future documents you wish.
