Make-up Printing Features Note The basic patterns are numbered 1 to 40. You can make your own make-up background patterns with the user tools. P.161 “5-15 Make/Chg. Pattern”.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Making A Command Sheet For Make-Up Printing Command sheets are fed first so that the machine can recognize the areas of the original which are to be edited as designated areas. Command sheet The command sheet is a sheet of pa- per for designating areas to be edited.
How To Make A Command Sheet There are two ways of designating areas: the diagonal line method and the closed area method. - Features • You can combine up to 4 command sheets when making a master. • You cannot use both the closed and diagonal line method on the same com- mand sheet.
Page 120
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS - Notes about drawing a command sheet The image might differ depending on how the designated area is drawn, so re- member the following when making the command sheet: Designated area Part of the designated area is surrounded by 3 sides of the entire area.
Page 121
When using the diagonal line method Note A diagonal line must be drawn through the area that you wish to edit. Put the command sheet on top of the original. Draw a line using a felt tip pen (black, red or blue) with a thickness of at least 1 mm.
Page 122
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS a, b, c = 2 mm, 0.08" When using the closed area method Note The line designating the area must be a closed loop. Put the command sheet on top of the original. Using a black, red, or blue felt tip pen, draw a line around the area to des- ignate.
