- A watermark will be placed on every page.
- If you select the [ForeGround] option button in the [Order] area, the watermark image is placed in the front of the image.
  Select the [Transparent] check box in the [Transparency] area, and then you can adjust the opacity level of the watermark.
  A watermark set with 100% opacity is not transparent, and a watermark set with 0% opacity is transparent.
- A watermark will be placed on every page.
  When inserting a watermark, take into account the color of the character strings, etc. set in the original document.
  For example, on documents where the characters were made using black ink, if you insert text with dark colors such as black as a watermark, it may become impossible to read the character strings in the original document.
