DoCPrint Configuration Guide

DoCPrint software manages your printed output, automating the production of your documents with copies, overlays and logos. You can add different overlays to your top copy and other copies.

You can print single or two-sided, with or without toner saving. You can print duplex and simplex from the same paper tray and your printed document is always on the correct side of the paper with the correct orientation.

You can print from any combination of input trays to different output bins. You can print documents to your local printer and copies to other printers - with one click - automatically.

Create overlay

To create an overlay, create a document that prints what you require on the overlay. Print this to file selecting a PCL5 or PCL6 driver as required.
(N.B. If the application that you used to create the document does not have a "Print to File" function, you will need to change the printer port to "FILE", print the document and then restore the port back to the original value.)
You can accept the overlay name suggested or change it to what you want. Every overlay must have a unique ID except when you require a PCL5 and a PCL6 version of the same overlay. In this case, use the same ID but a different overlay name. DoCPrint will select the correct version depending on the driver.
