Chapter 5 – Working with Overlays and Overlay Maker 3

Working with Overlay Files in the Overlays Folder

When IntelliKeys USB is installed on your computer, it creates an ITools
folder (Windows) or an IntelliTools folder (Macintosh) on your main hard
drive. The IntelliKeys USB folder is located in this folder.
The IntelliKeys USB folder includes a folder labeled Overlays for Editing,
and a folder labeled simply Overlays. In the Overlays folder there is a folder
labeled Standard Overlays and a folder labeled Alternative Overlays.

Working with Standard Overlay Files

The Standard Overlays folder is useful to open if you lose a printed Standard
overlay. It contains eight sub-folders—one for each of the seven Standard
overlays and a printable version of the Access Features USB Chart (found
on the reverse side of the Setup USB Overlay).
Each of the eight folders contains:
• Read Me document – provides print and send instructions.
• Print folder – contains a printable version of the overlay. Since the
printable copies do not have bar codes that can be read by the
IntelliKeys USB Keyboard, you will have to send the electronic version
of the overlay to the keyboard before using the printed copy.
• Send folder – contains an electronic version of the overlay to send to the
IntelliKeys USB keyboard. The Access Features Chart folder does not
contain a Send folder, because the Chart is not an overlay.
Reading a Read Me Document
Read Me files can be read using Notepad/Wordpad (Windows) or
SimpleText/TextEdit (Macintosh).
Printing a Standard Overlay (without Overlay Maker/Printer)
1. Open the printable version of the desired .pdf file using Adobe Reader.
2. Load your printer with legal size paper and select legal and landscape
(horizontal) as your printer's size and orientation settings.
3. Select Print from the File Menu and print.
Sending a Standard Overlay – Use one of the following methods:
• Select "With only one overlay for all applications" on the Advanced tab
of the control panel. Press Browse to navigate to the folder and select
one of the Standard Overlay files.
• Double-click the desired overlay file to send the overlay.
