C9300/C9500 Operation • 212PRINTING OVERLAYSWhat are Overlays?An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that isstored in the printer's flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied onsome models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability tobe much more elaborate.Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.An example of using Overlays:Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printerusing the Storage Device Manager:• the company logo• the company address• the company mission statement.The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into yourdocument in various combinations, depending on your requirements.To create overlays:1. Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing(e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file (print file) using theprinter driver.2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the printer.
