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 122
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 123
