• Existing color allocations may be changed at any time. For that pur-
pose, go to the program list (see
Fig. 55 for further details) and highlight
the program to which you want to allocate a different color. In the ex-
ample, the color red is to be allocated to H&E (previously it was green).
Then press CLIP COLOR to access the PROGRAM CLIP COLOR AS-
SIGNMENT menu (
Fig. 56 ). Press the red color button here.
• If the color you have selected was already allocated to a different pro-
gram (color button contains 3-digit program code, PAP in the current
example), you must confirm that the color will be taken away from that
program.
• Press CONFIRM in the screen prompt: the selected color is allocated to
the selected (H&E) program. The program to which that color had been al-
located up to that point (PAP) will be defined as white (in the CLIP COLOR
column).
