The Overlay Manager software included with the Minolta TWAIN driver is intended for use
only when using the MS 6000 or MS 7000 in conjunction with the MSP 3000 high-speed,
direct-connect laser printer. The overlay software allows you to design a bitmap image that

is required for configuration and, when needed, monitoring, no functionality exists to annotate
or overlay any image that is scanned to file.
The Overlay software can be used to configure and manage a number of direct-print MS 6000
or MS 7000. If numerous direct-print MS-series scanners are attached to the same PC, the

During each print, the internal memory is checked and any overlay present is placed on
the output. The Overlay Manager software is required for the one-time single upload of
the overlay data and for making any future changes to that overlay. While in Static
mode users can utilize the front panel to enable/disable overlays from print to print.
To toggle the static overlay on and off, first make sure the scanner is in Print mode,
then simply press and hold the Clear/Shift button and the Paper Select button for one
second. The LED will display either 0c or 1c. 0c indicates that there will be no
