Using advanced print features
Overlay
This option is available only when you use the
SPL printer driver (see "Software" on page 6).
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
letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted
letterhead, you can create an overlay containing
exactly the 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 machine: just
print the letterhead overlay on your document.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new
page overlay containing your logo or image.
• The overlay document size must be
the same as the document you print
with the overlay. Do not create an
overlay with a watermark.
• The resolution of the overlay
document must be the same as that of
the document you will print with the
overlay.
