Many word processing, spreadsheet and database programs are capable of downloading direct commands to a printer prior to and/or during printing a job. OverLAZ uses this capability to automatically print letterheads, images and/or borders on a text page. The overlays are inserted in your document or printout when it is printed on a laser printer. The OverLAZ collection includes general office forms (such as 'inter-office memo', 'notice of meeting', etc.) in several different styles, as well as rubber stamp (or 'watermark') type overlays (such as 'DRAFT', 'confidential', etc.) and page frames and borders.

OverLAZ files are designed to work with a minimally equipped 'bare bones' LaserJet series II or compatible printer (i.e. with only 512k RAM and no extra font cartridges). Of course, OverLAZ is fully compatible with extra printer RAM, fonts and cartridges, as well as LaserJet series III, 4 and 5 printers. OverLAZ will print at 300 DPI resolution on the 600 DPI LaserJet 4 printer.

With OverLAZ, you only need to keep one kind of paper (normal blank paper) in your laser printer. There is no need to juggle forms and special letterhead papers each time you want to print!

Because OverLAZ HP uses LaserJet specific command sequences, it is not compatible with other types of printers such as PostScript based laser printers, dot matrix, or most ink jet or bubble jet printers. The PostScript version will only work with PostScript printers.

(OverLAZ HP also works with some of the newer HP Deskjet printers, such as the HP Deskjet 1600 series.)
