HP LaserJet 2300 printer - External Software Technical Reference

watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you
name it. To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To
delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete.
Note
You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When the limit of 30
watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled, and a Bubble Help appears that explains why the button is
disabled and how to enable it.
To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark
Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
Watermark message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks list, except when
more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you might want several different watermarks with the
message DRAFT, each with a different font or size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound
sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting
name is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique.
Message angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations in relation to the
page's text. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default is Diagonal. All three settings
automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of
the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.
Horizontal places the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text
at the specified angle across the page.
Font attributes
Use controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the color, shading, size, and style of the font.
Name
The Name drop-down menu lists TrueType fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is language-
dependent.
Color
The Color drop-down menu lists the fixed, unalterable color choices for the watermark. Gray is the only color option
for the HP LaserJet 2300 printer.

The following range of shades is available from the Shading drop-down menu:
•
Lightest
•
