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 pape r 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.
1Create or open a document cont aining 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.

properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 13.

section.

6Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box. 
7Click OK or Yes to finish creating. 
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your 
computer hard disk drive. 
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the 
documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay 
with a watermark. 
Using a Page Overlay
After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with 
your document. To print an overlay with a document:
1Create or open the document you want to print. 
2To change the print settings from your software 
application, access printer  properties. See “Printing a 
Document” on page 13. 
3Click the Extras tab. 
4Select the desired overlay from the Overlay drop-down 
list box. 
5If the overlay file you want does not appear in the 
Overlay list, click Edit button and Load Overlay, and 
select the overlay file. 
If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an 
external source, you can also  load the file when you access 
the 
Load Overlay window. 
After you select the file, click 
Open. The file appears in the 
Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the 
overlay from the 
Overlay List box.

document.

• Using the Unified Driver Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s Unified 
Linux Driver package for using your machine with a Linux 
computer.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver 
package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via 
fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. 
The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and 
flexible installation program. You dont need to search for 
additional components that might be necessary for the Unified 
Linux Driver software: all required packages will be carried onto 
your system and installed automa tically; this is possible on a 
wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
Installing the Unified Linux 
Driver
Installing the Unified Linux Driver
1Make sure that you connect your machine to your 
computer. Turn both the co mputer and the machine on.
2When the Administrator Login  window appears, type in 
root in the Login field and enter the system password.
NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the 
printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system 
administrator.

automatically run.
If the CD-ROM does not automatically run, click the   
icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the Terminal 
screen appears, type in:

mount is /mnt/cdrom,
[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/
cdrom
[root@localhost root]#cd /mnt/cdrom/Linux
[root@localhost root]#./install.sh 
If you still failed to run the CD-ROM, type the followings 
in sequence:
[root@localhost root]#unmount/dev/hdc 
[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/
cdrom
NOTE: The installation program  runs automatically if you 
have an autorun software pack age installed and configured.
