Ideas for Using Printer Features

Note: For detailed information on these features, see your on-line User's Guide

Secure Print Feature

▶ Ideal for printing confidential documents on a network system.

Idea!

When printing special media, use this feature to prevent documents being sent by other clients on the network from printing on your media:

Create your document and store it in the printer's memory.
Load the special media.
Start printing the document by accessing it through the front panel (see page 17).

Proof & Print Feature

▶ Use Proof & Print to proof your document before printing multiple copies.

Overlays (Forms)

Note: Overlay elements must be created in your software application, then stored on the printer's hard drive using Storage Device Manager before they can be used.

▶ Great for adding logos, addresses, letterheads, etc., to your document, in any combination.

Ideas!

User overlays:

• in place of pre-printed stationery. • to create forms from pre-stored modular pieces.
