Printing Over a Fixed Form
You can print data overlapping a fixed form stored in the device. This function is known as overlay printing.
With the LIPS4/PS3 driver, you can use fixed forms saved not only on the device, but on a computer (host side) as well.

Select the print menu of the application.

In the displayed print screen, select the device you are using → click [Preferences] to display the print settings screen of the driver.

Click [Page Options].
5.
In the [Page Options] dialog box, display the [Overlay] sheet.

Select [Processing Method] > [Create a Form File] → specify a file name.
When you can select the save destination for a form file, select the save destination from [Store in], then specify a file name.

When using the PS3 driver and [Host] is selected in [Store in], only the local computer can be specified as the location to save the form file. Another computer on the same network cannot be specified.
