Printing features
Overlay
This option is available only when you use the SPL/
PCL printer driver.
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.
