# 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
- Page number
- Stamp
- Text
- 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.
Each of the items above can be printed on the header or footer of each sheet.

- If the selected stamp content of one position overlaps the stamp content of another position, priority will be given in the following order: watermark, right side, left side, centre. 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 size of the paper, some printed content may be cut off or shifted out of position.
