VERLAYS
Three steps are required to create an overlay:
1. Create the form data using your own application software
and print it to a printer (.PRN) file.
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied
on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import
the .PRN file, and download the generated filter (.BIN)
files to the printer.
3. Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use
with any future document.
When printing files to disk, do not select any special
features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies.
These are not appropriate to macros, they apply only to
your final documents.
C REATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE
1. Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics
program, to create the required image and save it.
2. Open your application’s
Print… dialogue.
3. Make sure that the
selected printer
name (1) is that of your
PCL printer driver.
4. Select the Print To
File (2) option.
5. When prompted for a
print file name, enter a meaningful name with the
extension .PRN .
6. Close your application.
