We have now made a copy of the overlay IF400DEMO from file-set SAMPLE and stored it by the name MYDEMO in file-set TEST.

Step 2. Make a Test Print of the Overlay+Spool Data

Before we start changing things we will make a printout of the overlay so we know what we have to begin with.

We press F3 to exit to the main menu

Enter menu 3. Merge spool entry with overlay:

MYDEMO is already filled in because it was the last overlay active in the design menu.

Now go to the lower part of the screen and fill in queue AFC_INPUT1 and library APF3812. In the Getting Started section page 30 we created a DEMO spool entry. This is still placed in the queue with the description PRTCTL. If you can’t find the spool entry, you can create it using option 1. Create demo spool entry (see page 337)

We press Enter to look at entries in queue AFC_INPUT1:
