Creating Multistate Indicators and Drawing Lines

Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998

New Multistate Indicator

Now you can configure the states.

Configuring the States

Unless you’ve set different defaults for the Multistate Indicator, the
new Multistate Indicator automatically has four states assigned. By
default, it is at State 0. This is the state that appears when the copier
is not active, and there are no problems.

To configure these states:

1. Configure State 0 as follows:

A. Select the object. Change the foreground color to light grey

and the background color to blue.

B. Create the text label

n/a

for “not active.”

You’ve defined the first state (State 0) of the object. Now you can
configure the remaining states.

2. With the object (but not the text) selected, choose Next State from

the View menu or press

ALT+N

. The object is now at State 1.

3. Configure State 1 as follows:

A. Create the label

OK

to indicate that everything is functioning

correctly.

B. Change the foreground color to blue and the background

color to white.
