Print Mask

You use this program to print a template to assist you in correctly positioning fields on your stationery formats.

The program prints a grid of the number of columns and lines according to your specifications. The printed grid can be overlayed on your pre-printed stationery, or bitmap form, to enable you to read off the required row and column positions for the fields you want to print on your stationery.

Stationery Layout Mask

Field	Description
Layout Options	The layout options enable you to determine the size of the print mask grid that you want to print. The size of the print mask should be the same size (or larger) than the size of your pre-printed stationery as you will overlay the mask onto your stationery to determine the print positions you requires for the fields you are defining on your stationery.
Number of columns	Indicate the number of columns (in the range 70 to 130) to be printed across the page. The number of columns you choose will depend on the width (from left to right) of your stationery or bitmap. The available selections occur in multiples of five.
Number of lines	Indicate the number of lines (in the range 5 to 60) to be printed down the page. The number of rows you choose will depend on the length (from top to bottom) of your stationery.
Bitmap details
Print bitmap form	Select this option if your stationery is defined as a bitmap image (as opposed to pre-printed stationery). This option enables you to align your stationery fields onto a bitmap form.
Bitmap	Indicate the bitmap form you defined for a specific document type. The print mask prints your bitmap form together with an overlay of the mask to help you design your stationery layout.
Print	Select this to print the layout mask according to your selections.
Close	Select this to return to the menu without printing the layout mask.
