Lexmark Tech Notes, March 2004, Page 2

forms list. Users can print on the custom form

by selecting it from the Paper size drop-down

list on the Paper tab.

In the illustrated example, the custom form

named My_Report prints on Letter-sized,

colored paper. A personally created logo

overlay appears on the front of the page over

other images or text contained in the

document. A watermark named "confidential

watermark" that reads CONFIDENTIAL also

appears on the front side of the page, but it

will be printed underneath other images or

text in the document.

Creating a custom form

using the PostScript emula-

tion driver

Creating a custom form using the PostScript

emulation driver involves a slightly different

set of steps since the PostScript emulation

driver does not include a Forms tab. Also,

some options that you can automatically

associate with your custom form using the

PCL emulation driver (such as watermark

and overlay selections) are not available for

custom form association in the PostScript

emulation driver. They can still be selected for

use with your custom form, but must be

manually selected from the Overlays and

Watermarks dialog boxes before you send

your document to the printer. These dialog

boxes appear on the Other Options tab. The

Other Options tab is located on the Printing

Preferences dialog box. See the Online Help

for your printer driver for more information

about creating watermarks and overlays.

To begin, you must access the Printers folder,

then open the Server Properties sheet for

your printer in order to create and associate a

name with a custom form:

Open the Printers folder by clicking

Start à à à à Settings à à à à Printers.

Select File.

Select Server Properties. (See Figure 4

on the next page.)

Click Create a New Form. This enables
