Windows: Postscript Emulation Driver • 291

Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the
printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in
the printer driver to use the overlays.

Creating Documents To Use As Overlays

An overlay can be created in any software application that can
handle logos, letterheads, forms, etc. and can print to a file.

1.

With the file to be stored as an overlay open in your application
program, choose

File

then

Print

.

2.

Ensure that the

Print To File

option is switched on in your

application's Print dialog box.

3.

Depending on the application, you may need to select your
printer model, and then click

Properties…

This should open the

printer driver settings.

4.

Select the

Overlay

tab.

5.

Choose

Create Form

from the drop-down list, then make your

selections in the dialog box which appears and click

OK

.

6.

Click

Print

.

Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you to
save the print job on your PC's hard disk. Give the file a meaningful
name.

NOTE

• The internal hard disk must be installed in the

printer to allow for spooling of the print job before
final printing.

• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the

spooled data,

DISK FULL

is displayed and only one

copy printed.

• If the software application being used has a collate

print option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to
operate correctly.

• An overlay may consist of more than one

component files.
