Abstract
A color printing apparatus for printing information data as well as overlay data. A data receiving means receives information data and overlay data, and a notifying device notifies an operator that overlay printing is to be performed. A manual overlay color setting device manually sets a printing color of the overlay data received by the data receiving device. The manual overlay color device is used to set the desired color in which the overlay data is to be printed by over-riding instructions from a computer for overlay color selection. A printing device prints the overlay data based on the color defined by the manual overlay color setting device and the information data received by the data receiving device.
