By means of the CCPY command, the Kyocera-Mita printers can print multiple copies from different cassettes when a print file is sent to the printer. Each printed page can utilize a different macro and cassette to apply different forms (Customer Copy, File Copy, Freight Copy). - Page 12 Data/Overlay – The overlay can be printed out separately or with the print data. Stack – the stack position of the printer can be defined. g. OK – will add the Cassette, Overlay, Resolution, Data/Overlay, and Stack settings to the Page.

Using EMCR is similar in concept to having pre- printed materials in the cassettes, less the expense of the pre-printed materials. - Page 17 Tools Menu 3.
