Current watermarks The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks you have created. To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you name it. The name that you type in the Watermark Message field appears in the Current Watermarks group box in the Watermark Details dialog box and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab. To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. A warning appears asking whether you are sure you want to delete the selected item. Click Cancel if you want to keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark. NOTE You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When you reach the limit of 30 watermarks, the New button is disabled. To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark. 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 might want 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 two 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. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default is Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Horizontal places the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text at the specified angle across the page. 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 drop-down menu ■ Shading drop-down menu ■ Size spin box ■ Style drop-down menu HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5, and PS Emulation Unidriver features 193

To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the

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 might want
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 two 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. The settings are
Diagonal
,
Horizontal
, or
Angle
(custom). The default is
Diagonal
. All
three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular
setting affects only the angle of the string placement.
Diagonal
places the text along a line that
spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.
Horizontal
places the text along a line that
spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page.
Angle

across the page.
