Using Watermarks - Samsung ML-551 Series User Manual

Using watermarks

The watermark option allows you to print text over an existing document.
For example, you use it when you want to have large gray letters reading
"DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL" printed diagonally across the first page or all
pages of a document.
There are several predefined watermarks that come with the machine. They
can be modified, or you can add new ones to the list.

Using overlay (PCL driver only)
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive
(HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Over-
lays are often used to take the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing exactly the
same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with
your company's letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead
paper in the machine just print the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a new page overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing
your logo or image.
1. Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a
new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to
appear when printed as an overlay.
2. To save the document as an overlay, access Printing Preferences
(See "Opening printing preferences" on page 52).
3. Click the Advanced tab, and select Edit from the Text drop-down
list. Edit Overlay window appears.
4. In the Edit Overlay window, click Create.
5. In the Save As window, type a name of up to eight characters in the
File name box. Select the destination path, if necessary. (The
default is C:\Formover.)
6. Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List.
7. Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
8. The file is not printed. Instead, it is stored on your computer hard disk
drive.
The overlay document size must be the same as the document
you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a water-
mark.
Using a page overlay
After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your doc-
ument. To print an overlay with a document:

2. To change the print settings from your software application, access
Printing Preferences (See "Opening printing preferences" on
page 52).
3. Click the Advanced tab.
