Background Tag

The Background tag prints an image at specified coordinates for all pages in the print template. Supported file formats are BMP and JPG only.

Usage

Use the Background tag to print logos or images in the header, footer, or main printable area of the print template. When the Background tag is used, the image is printed like a watermark logo, and any other object included in the print template is printed over it.

It is recommended that you declare the Background tag immediately after the Absolute, Margin, Header, or Footer tags.

Syntax

To use this tag, use the following syntax:

<TAG:Backgound name="FILE NAME" left="LEFT" top="TOP" right="RIGHT" bottom="BOTTOM">
