HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printers - Software Technical Reference

Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks
list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you can have several
different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this
occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When
a number is added, the number 2 is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number
increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).
Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on the
page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects
only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available:
●
Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the
lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.
●
Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right
edges of the page.
●
Angle. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the numeric
spin box to select the angle.
Font Attributes
Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style
of the font.
The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:
●
Name
The Name: drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is
language dependent.
●
