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 paper in the machine. You need only tell the machine 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.
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as documents you will print with the
overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay.
