Using Watermarks
The Watermark option allows you to print text over an existing 
document. For example, you may want to have large gray 
letters reading “DRAFT” or “CONFIDENTIAL” printed diagonally 
across the first page or all pages of a document. 
There are several predefined watermarks that come with the 
printer, and they can be modified, or you can add new ones to 
the list. 
Using an Existing Watermark
1To change the print settings from your software 
application, access printer properties. See “Printing a 
Document” on page 6. 
2Click the Extras tab, and select the desired watermark 
from the 
Watermark drop-down list. You will see the 
selected watermark in the preview image. 
3Click OK and start printing. 
NOTE: The preview image shows how the page will look when 
it is printed.

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 paper 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 containing 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.
2To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 6.
3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay 
section.
