Saving Overlay Files: Using the Save As Send-Only Option To make it easy to only send an overlay’s key content to IntelliKeys, use the Save As Send- Only option. By default, Send-Only files are saved to the desktop (though you can save them elsewhere). Once saved, double-clicking the Send-Only file will send the overlay’s key content to IntelliKeys without opening Overlay Maker 3 and displaying the overlay. How do I save an Overlay Maker 3 overlay as a Send-Only file? 1. Select Save As Send-Only from the File menu. The Save As dialog box used with your operating system displays. 2. Navigate to the desktop or elsewhere on your computer (network). 3. Click Save. The Send-Only file has the extension .omc. Send-Only Files (i.e., Content-Only): General Information What is a Send-Only file? The Send-Only file icon displayed on the Desktop A Send-Only file is an overlay file that only includes key content. It cannot be opened, displayed, edited, and/or printed. Typically Send-Only files are saved to the desktop, so that the files can be sent to IntelliKeys quickly. Why save an overlay as a Send-Only file? In some instances you may wish to send an overlay’s key content to IntelliKeys without opening Overlay Maker 3 and displaying the overlay. How do I send a Send-Only file to IntelliKeys? Double-click the Send-Only file to send the overlay’s key content to IntelliKeys without opening Overlay Maker 3 and displaying the overlay. How do I edit a Send-Only file? You can’t edit a Send-Only file. Therefore, before you save an overlay as a Send-Only file, it is recommended that you save a copy of your file as an .oms file (an editable overlay) or an .omt file (a template that can’t be easily overwritten). Saving Overlay Files: Using the Export to DynaVox Option How do I save an Overlay Maker 3 overlay so it is compatible with DynaVox hardware? 1. Select Export to DynaVox from the File menu. The Save As dialog box used with your operating system displays. 2. Navigate to the desktop or elsewhere on your computer (or network). 3. Click Save. 56 Overlay Maker 3 User’s <strong>Guide</strong>
Printing an Overlay Due to the size and shape of the IntelliKeys touch-sensitive surface (8.5” x 13”), overlays are bigger than a “regular” letter-size paper (8.5” x 11”). Therefore it is recommended that you use legal size paper (8.5” x 14”) in the landscape (sideways) orientation to print overlays. Then trim the overlay to 8.5” x 13” (includes margins). How do I choose paper size and orientation? 1. From the File menu, select Page Setup. 2. Select Legal for the Paper size and Landscape for the orientation if these options are not already selected. Click OK to close the Page Setup dialog box. How do I print the overlay? 1. Select Print from the Edit menu or click the Print button on the Standard Toolbar. 2. Choose the desired print settings (e.g., number of copies) and click OK. The overlay prints. 3. Trim the printed overlay along the cut lines. 4. Place the printed overlay on the IntelliKeys. Can I use letter size paper and portrait orientation for printed overlays? Yes. The overlay will be printed on two sheets of paper. Use the dotted cut lines to trim the pages to the correct overlay dimensions and tape the two pages together. What do I do if an overlay is not correctly positioned on the page? 1. Select Preferences... from the Options menu. The Preference dialog box displays. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Enter the needed Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset measurements. 4. Click OK. 5. Print the overlay again. How do I stop the overlay title from being printed on the overlay? After an overlay is saved, the overlay name will print vertically in the left margin. 1. Select Preferences... from the Options menu. The Preference dialog box displays. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Deselect the Print Overlay Title option. How do I print a single level of a multilevel overlay? 1. Display the level that you want to print on-screen. 2. Select Print from the File menu or click the Print button on the Standard Toolbar. What are the dimensions of a trimmed overlay and what size are the margins? The trimmed overlay dimensions are 8.5” x 13” (includes margins). The minimum margins measurements are 7/16” (left vertical margin) and 1/4” for the top and bottom margins. 05: Working with Overlay Files 57
