Appendix B - Advanced Print Operations
Bodno contains several advanced features to provide you with the flexibility
required to adapt to any circumstance.
In this chapter we will show you an overview on which features are available,
how they work, and how to best use them to make your printing jobs simple, fast
and most importantly, exactly the way you want them.
Appendix B.1 - Overlay
By default Bodno uses the printer's default overlay pattern. However Bodno
also gives you other options regarding how you work with the Overlay ("O"
Ribbon).
You can access the Overlay options through the Bodno menu File>Print
Settings.
Bodno gives you three options:
1 - Separate Page lets you design your own Overlay with Bodno's Design
Vew.
2 - External File lets you design an Overlay within Bodno so later when printing
it can be used through your printer's driver settings.
3 - Use the printer's default overlay pattern by disabling Bodno's overlay
customization.
Important notes regarding how printers work with Overlay:
Printers which support overlay printing have their own overlay settings.
These settings override Bodno's settings. This means the printer's settings
determine if the overlay is printed or not, regardless of Bodno's configuration.
You can find your printer settings on the Printer Options through the Bodno
menu File>Print Settings, Driver Options button.
Bodno can only print overlay if the printer being used supports overlay
ribbons, has an overlay ribbon installed and has the overlay option enabled in
it's own Driver Options.
If the overlay option is Disabled in Bodno but the printer Driver Options
have overlay enabled, the printer will still print overlay.
If an overlay option is enabled in Bodno but the printer Driver Options have
overlay disabled, the printer will not print overlay.
