Over_LAZ IMAGES
Over_LAZ image files are grouped into three categories:
letterheads (forms), rubberstamps (sometimes called 'water
marks'), and decorative borders. The current files in each
category are described below.
LETTERHEADS
'Letterhead' or form type overlay files can be used for general
office correspondence. When using letterheads, the top margin of
the document should be set to at least 1.25 inches to allow
adequate space to print the letterhead. Letterheads are
optimized for 8 1/2" x 11" portrait mode printing, but will also
work for 8 1/2" x 14" legal portrait as well as metric A4
portrait printing.

Over_LAZ HP Overlay Descriptions

file PBORD1.HP produces a single thin black line box, 0.5 inches
from the edge of the paper in portrait mode on normal letter
sized (8.5" x 11") paper. LBORD1.HP produces an identical
border, but in landscape mode.
Note that different brands of laser printers have a slightly
different 'offset' for printing on a page. In some cases the
borders may not appear to be physically centered on the page.
However, they should be centered with respect to the text which
will also be offset by the same amount. (Consult your printer
manual for adjusting the printer offset, if required.)
