Abstract
A printing method for a print system operating with an operating system, which includes the steps of providing, storing, selecting, and executing. The providing steps provide an application for generating print data and a print station. The storing step stored form data. The selecting step selects at least one of a first form overlay instruction for assigning the print data as a background image and the form data as a foreground and a second form overlay instruction for assigning the print data as a foreground image and the form data as a background. The executing executes a first form overlay operation, and includes the steps of adding and transmitting. The adding step adds the form data immediately after each page of the print data when the selecting step selects the first form overlay instruction and the form data in front of each page of the print data when the selecting step selects the second form overlay instruction. The transmitting step transmits the print data added with the form data to the print station.
