Select ink for the succeeding lines

Pattern8 blank = unchanged,

0 = 100% white shading,

1-8 = 1-100% shading, ...

F3=Exit F18=DSPSPLF F12=Cancel

We enter 8 for 100% shading (Black), which will ensure that the following sequence lines will be visible. We press Enter to save our new sequence line 18.

Step 11. Defining the Item Line Bars

We would now like to exploit the Repetition and Pattern options in the overlay element Frame to make shaded horizontal “bars” to provide a better appearance of the item lines.

We place this definition before the first remapping of an item column. The item column “Model” now has sequence line 19. We therefore enter sequence line 18,1:

We want the shaded frames to be 1/6" thick with a distance of 1/6” between.

First we must find out where to place the first frame. We want to place our first frame behind every second item line starting with item line number two. This means 0,175" (240x0,175 = 42 pels) lower than the black frame. We see that the black frame (sequence
