Creating A New Page Overlay - Dell 1110 - Laser Printer B/W User Manual

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. Overlays are often used to take
the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted
letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact 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 printer. You need only tell the
printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
