Overlay Printing

This section describes what Overlay Printing is, how to create a form file, and how to print with

an Overlay.

What Is Overlay Printing?

Overlay Printing overlays text data onto a form file.

For example, if the format of a report or bill is created in application software as a form file, you

can create a perfectly formatted document by overlaying a text data document onto the form file.

To perform Overlay Printing, form files are required. You can use the following as form files:

• Files created in application software and then stored in your computer or your printer as form

files

• Image data files for Form Composition stored in the printer

• Files downloaded to your printer with the Canon NetSpot Resource Downloader
