With Print Watermark / Header / Footer, you can easily insert a username, computer name, day, time and page count to appear on the footer or header area of the printed document from all your applications. You can also create overlays and multi-line watermarks and texts on each paper sheet. Print Watermark / Header / Footer lets you control the raw power of your printer and channelize it for better printing needs.

To install Print Watermark / Header / Footer, you must have the administrator rights on the installation computer.

Step 1. Double-click Marker-Setup.exe (for Windows 32-bit / 64-bit), and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 2. Click "Start -> All Programs -> PrintLimit -> Print Watermark / Header / Footer Settings".

Step 3. Click the first button to modify settings. Click “Apply Settings”. The settings are saved in the file config.ini in the installation folder of Print Watermark / Header / Footer, e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintLimit\Print Watermark / Header / Footer 64-bit\config.ini.  Click button “Exit” to exit.

Tip: The option 1 requires closing all open documents you want to print (MS Word, Excel, PDF, Web Browser…) before the new settings take effect. If not, the document is not responding when you print it.

 

Option 2: Click “Modify and Save Config.ini” to open the config.ini directly. This option may not require closing all open documents. After the config.ini is updated, save and close the file, then click the button “Apply Settings” and “Exit”.

Step 4. Print a document to test.

Tip: The C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintLimit\Print Watermark-Header-Footer\config.ini can be copied to other computers, so you don’t have to configure the parameters manually for every computer. We can also create MSI installer for you that includes your config.ini for silent installation using Windows Group Policy if you have more than 100 computers.
