Creating a new page overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing
your logo or image.

appear when printed as an overlay.
2. To save the document as an overlay, access Printing Preferences
(See "Opening printing preferences" on page 53).
3. Click the Advanced tab, and select Edit from the Text drop-down
list. Edit Overlay window appears.
4. In the Edit Overlay window, click Create.

File name box. Select the destination path, if necessary (The default
is C:\Formover).
6. Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List.
7. Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
8. The file is not printed. Instead, it is stored on your computer hard disk
drive.
The overlay document size must be the same as the document
you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a
watermark.

document. To print an overlay with a document:

source, you can also load the file when you access the Open
window.
After you select the file, click Open. The file appears in the Overlay
List box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the
Overlay List box.
6. If necessary, check Confirm Page Overlay When Printing box. If
this box is checked, a message window appears each time you
submit a document for printing, asking you to confirm your wish to
print an overlay on your document.
If this box is not checked and an overlay has been selected, the
overlay automatically prints with your document.
7. Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
The selected overlay prints on your document.
