Stationery overlays are PDF files that are applied as a background layer when a job is printed. They are typically used for letterheads, footers, or pre-designed page backgrounds, allowing documents to be printed on plain paper stock whilst retaining a branded appearance. Stationery is assigned to a printer in the Stationery section of the printer configuration, where separate overlays can be defined for the initial sheet and continuation sheets. You can manage stationery records via Control Panel > Stationery.
The Administrator and Control Panel roles can view stationery records. Only Administrators can create or modify them.
A stationery file must be the same dimensions as the paper stock assigned to the printer it will be used with.

This is free text and defined by you, for example v1, 2026-05, or any reference that is meaningful to your organisation. If you update the stationery file, updating the Revision Code helps you confirm which version is currently in use. |
