CREATING OVERLAYS FOR PRINT DATA (Overlays)
(This function is only available in Windows.)
The print data can be printed in a previously created 
overlay. By creating table rulings or a decorative frame

registering the data as an overlay file, an attractive print 
result can be easily obtained without the need for 
complex manipulations.

(1) Click the [Advanced] tab.
Configure the printer driver settings from the software 
application that you wish to use to create the overlay file.
(2) Click the [Edit] button.
(3) Create an overlay file.
Click the [Create Overlay] button and specify the name 
and folder to be used for the overlay file that you wish to 
create. The file will be created when the settings are 
completed and printing is started.
Printing with an overlay file
(1) Click the [Advanced] tab.
Configure the printer driver settings from the application 
from which you wish to print using the overlay file.
(2) Select the overlay file.
A previously created or stored overlay file can be selected 
from the pull-down menu.

(Different Paper)

About paper insertion settings
When [Other Page] is selected for Insert Position, 
the insert position can be specified by directly 
entering a page number. However, inserts cannot 
be successively inserted at the same page. When 
Printing Method is set to [2-Sided], the specified 
page and the next page after it will be printed on the 
front and reverse side of the paper, and thus an 
insert setting at a page printed on the reverse side 
will not be effective.
