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 nicely within the

plain areas on your letterhead overlay.

2.

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

ensuring that the target printer is your PCL printer driver in which the overlays have

been defined.

3.

Click the Properties button to open the Printing Preferences window.

4.

On the Overlay tab, check the Use active overlays

checkbox (1).

5.

In the Defined Overlays list, click on the first overlay (2)

you wish to use, and click the Add button (3) to add it to

the Active Overlays list. (If you want a reminder of how

this overlay looks, click the Test Print button.)

6.

If you want to use another overlay with this document, in

this example it is the “Continuation Page” overlay, click

this overlay (4) in the list of defined overlays, and then

click the Add button (3) again to add the second overlay to the list of active

overlays.

7.

When the list of active overlays contains all the items you want to use, click OK.

8.

Finally, click the Print button in your application’s Print dialogue to begin printing

your document.
