create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on 
your letterhead.

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your 
logo or image.
1.Create 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.
2.To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See Print-
ing a Document on page 5-8.
3.Click the Other 
Features tab, and 
click Edit button in 
the Overlay sec-
tion.
