Overlay Printing (PCL Only) (LASER CLASS 830i Only)

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

Remark
  • You can use only form files created in applications on your computer.
  • To use form files downloaded with the Canon NetSpot Resource Downloader, you need to install the NetSpot Resource Downloader Printer Driver Add-on Module. For instructions on how to use Canon NetSpot Resource Downloader, see the NetSpot Resource Downloader User's Guide.
  • For Windows Vista, Canon NetSpot Resource Downloader is not supported.

Operational Requirements and Restrictions in the Microsoft Cluster Server Environment

This section describes operational requirements and restrictions for using a printer in the Microsoft Cluster Server environment.


Remark
  • To print from a computer with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.

When Installing the Printer Driver


 

Take notice of the following points when using a printer in the Microsoft Cluster Server environment:

  • Only server cluster environments in Microsoft Cluster Server are guaranteed to work with the printer drivers.
  • The printer driver supports a server cluster consisting of two nodes. A cluster of three or more nodes is not supported.
  • There must be only one spooler resource in the server cluster. Multiple spooler resources are not available.
  • Select a Standard TCP/IP port for the printer.
  • The printer driver must be installed in each cluster node individually. Otherwise it might be impossible to add a new driver to the virtual server.

Remark
  • To print from a computer with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.

  1. Select [Generic Service] for [Resource type] → select the same group as the print cluster resources for [Group] → click [Next].
  • If the group which includes the print cluster resources (Printer Spooler, IP Address, Network Name, and Physical Disk) does not exist, it is necessary to create a new group for the print cluster resources.
 
       
  1. Select the nodes in which the Canon Driver Information Assist Service is installed from [Available nodes] click [Add].

The nodes you selected are added to [Possible owners].

 
       
  1. Click [Next].
