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 pa per in the printer. You need 
only tell the printer to print  the letterhead overlay on your 
document.

containing your logo or image.
