Using the Printer Software with Windows 68
EPSON AcuLaser C3800 User's Guide
Using storage form overlay
This function enables faster printing with form overlay data. Windows users can use the
form data registered on the USB memory installed in the printer’s USB Host interface or
delete the form data on the USB memory. You can access this function from the Form
Selection dialog box in the printer driver.
Note:
❏ This function is not available if the USB memory is not installed on the USB Host interface of
the printer.
❏ When the document’s resolution, paper size or paper orientation settings are different from the
form overlay data that you use, you cannot print the document with the form overlay data.
❏ This function is available only in ESC/Page mode.
❏ This function is available in the High Quality (Printer) mode.
❏ We recommend using a USB memory that has less than 2 GB of memory. Accessing USB
memories that have more than 2 GB of memory may take too long.
❏ If a large numbers of files are in the USB memory, accessing the USB memory may take too
long.
❏ If accessing the USB memory takes too long, try formatting it to improve the access speed.
