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.
2To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 12.
3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay 
section. 
4In the Edit Overlay window, click Create Overlay. 
5In the Create Overlay window, type a name of up to eight 
characters in the 
File name box. Select the destination 
path, if necessary. (The  default is C:\Formover).
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.
