Windows: Software Utilities • 312

Overlay elements must be created in the software application
of your choice, then stored on the printer’s hard drive using
Storage Device Manager before they can be used.

If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled data, the
message DISK FULL appears.

If the software application has a collate print option, it must be
turned OFF before you print overlays.

Overlay printing cannot be done using the Windows 2000
PostScript driver or the Macintosh driver.
