PRINTING DATES, PAGE NUMBERS, AND WATERMARKS (STAMP)

Overview

This function prints information such as the date or stamp, which is not shown on the original, on copies. You can print the following five types of information: "Date", "Pages", "Stamp", "Text", and "Watermark".

For the stamp or watermark, you can print text such as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "PRIORITY". You can print pre-set text or any characters as the text.
  • If the selected stamp of one position overlaps the stamp of another position, priority will be given in the order; watermark, right side, left side, and center. Content that is hidden due to overlapping will not be printed.
  • Text will be printed at the preset size regardless of the copy ratio or paper size setting.
  • Text will be printed at the preset exposure regardless of the exposure setting.
  • Depending on the paper size, some printed content may be cut off or shifted out of position.
