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.
