Starting Format Entry

Here are a few tips to help you enter your formats easily.

Type responses for all prompt screens and press

E

, unless otherwise stated.

The first five prompts in format entry identify the format
and define the supply to be printed. The remaining
prompts define the fields.

Field definition begins with the Field Definition screen:

Field 01 p)rompt, F)ix, L)ine
M)erge, S)ub, G)raph or T)est____

When you finish defining a field, the screen returns to
the Field Definition screen and the field number (Field

:) increases by one.

You can test your format design any time during format
entry (if you have defined at least one field). To test
your design, select Test from the Field Definition
screen. The format you are working on will print with
test data in the fields you defined.

field, only the new field (the one you were working on)
won’t be saved.
