OVERLAYS

Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them for any documents you

wish. The example illustrated here uses two overlays for business letters. The first prints

on just the top page, and the second prints on any or all subsequent pages.
1.

Prepare your document in the normal way using your own application software.

Remember, if necessary, to format the document so that it will fit within the

appropriate space.

2.

Open your application’s Print… dialogue and choose any options you will require,

ensuring that the target printer is your PostScript printer driver in which the overlays

have been defined.

3.

Click the Properties button to open the Printing Preferences window.

4.

On the Overlays tab, choose Use Overlay from the

drop-down list (1).

5.

Click on the first overlay (2) you wish to use. In this

example it is the Cover Page overlay. Then click the

Add button (3).

6.

If you want to use another overlay, in this case it is the

Continuation page, click the second overlay (4) and

then click the Add button (3) again.

7.

When you have selected all the overlays you want to

use for this document, click OK.

8.

Finally, in your application’s print dialogue, click OK to begin printing.
