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.
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 font or size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a
pound sign, and a number. 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.
The controls in the Message Angle group box let you print the watermark in a diagonal,
horizontal, or angle (custom) orientation to the page's text. The default is Diagonal. While
all three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page, these settings
affect 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.
The Font Attributes group box provides controls to let you change the font and the color,
shading, size, and style of the font.
The Name drop-down menu lists TrueType fonts currently installed on the system. For
the HP LaserJet 8150 series printers, the only Color selection is Gray. The Shading
drop-down menu offers a range of shades from Lightest to Darkest. The Size selection
allows sizes from 1 to 999 points. The Style drop-down menu offers a choice of regular,
bold, italic, and bold italic.
The default settings for watermarks on the HP LaserJet 8150 printer are Arial, Regular
Style, 150 point, Gray, and Very Light shading.
