Edge Erase
This option eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase erases whatever is within the selected
area, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
Header/Footer
This option turns on the Date/Time, Page number, Bates number, or Custom text and prints them in the specified
header or footer location.
Overlay

Confidential, Copy, and Draft, or you can enter a custom message in the "Enter custom text" field. The word you pick
will appear, faintly, in large print across each page.
Note: A custom overlay can also be created by your system support person. When a custom overlay is created, a button
with an icon of that overlay will be available.
Advanced Duplex
This option controls whether the documents are one-sided or two-sided, what orientation your original documents
have, and how your documents are bound.
