C7350/7550 User’s Guide: Windows Me/98/95 Operation • 374 Overlays What are Overlays? An overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is stored in the printers flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required. The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to be much more elaborate. Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms, or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery. Example of Using Overlays Suppose that you used the Storage Device Manager to create and store three files in the printer: •the company logo •the company address •the company mission statement. The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your document in various combinations, depending on your requirements. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
C7350/7550 User’s Guide: Windows Me/98/95 Operation • 375 Creating Overlays 1.Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing (e.g. a letterhead). 2.Use the printer driver to generate a PRN file (print file). 3.Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file (print file) to a storable file format. 4.Download the storable file to the printer. Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the printer driver to use the overlays. NOTE • The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to allow for spooling of the print job before final printing. • If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed. • If the software application being used has a collate print option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate correctly. • An overlay may consist of more than one component file.
