Using The Overlay Settings Feature - Canon LX-D5500 User Manual

Using the Overlay Settings Feature

Overlay printing is a printer function which internally combines two pieces of data, i.e., the fixed data
created in advance as a "form file" that is commonly printed on all pages and the data on each page of
a document (variable data such as characters.) The combined data (form and variable data) is printed
onto each printed sheet using the same form but different information from the variable data.
Data using a template containing a lot of images can be printed without transferring large-capacity
image data to the printer many times, allowing the data to be printed quickly.
