Command Sheets 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 Sheets

The command sheet is a sheet of paper designating the areas to be edited. Com-
mand sheets must be made on white or translucent paper, and should be the
same size as the original.
Do not designate areas within 5 mm, 0.2" from the top.
Note
Poor quality paper (such as newsprint, recycled paper, etc.) should not be
used for command sheets because any dark spots or streaks will be read as
designated areas.
Do not use blotting paper or other absorbent paper for command sheets be-
cause ink might leak through the paper and get the exposure glass dirty.

Making a Command Sheet

There are two ways of designating areas: the diagonal line method and the
closed area method.

mand sheet.
