Overlay selection

It is possible to specify two header fields to use information from different files (optional).

In the Select overlay using text box, enter a space or a plus sign (+) and then type the second field name. For example, NDHGFCB+NDHGUCS. A plus sign (+) will concatenate the values of the fields. A new name will be given to this overlay file and it will be treated like a single file. When a space is used, the extension of the overlay must match the extension of the field value. If the fields are either NDHGFCB or NDHGUCS, then the extension of the overlay matching the field must be .fcb or .ucs, respectively. For any other field, the extension can be any standard overlay extension (that is, .asc or .tnj). Two overlay files will be sent to the printer.

Options

When the Send after banner page option is selected, both the banner and the overlay must have the same setting for how they are applied. For example, if Send after banner page is selected and the overlay is set to Apply to groups, then the banner must also be set to Apply to groups on the Banner Options dialog box.
