Note: The change operation is similar to the create operation. The only difference
is that the previously entered parameters are already placed in each field when the
display appears. See “Define Overlay Specifications” on page 64 for the
description of each parameter.
Making the overlay size smaller
| When you try to reduce the overlay size from the previously defined values,
| some overlay elements may be positioned outside the newly defined overlay.
| The overlay size is always measured from the origin, the top-left corner of the
| overlay. For example, the overlay elements placed near the right edge or
| bottom of the previous overlay may be positioned outside the newly defined
| overlay. In this case, elements are deleted if their positions extend beyond the
| overlay boundaries.
The overlay utility displays the confirmation display when such a situation
occurs to let you enter the delete element operation or cancel the change
overlay specifications operation. See “Confirm Delete of Elements” on page 69
for more information.
Changing the unit of measure
The overlay utility allows you to change the unit of measure in the overlay
specifications between inches and centimeters. The defined numbers in each
| element do not change. Therefore, some elements are positioned outside the
| overlay when the number specified for the size exceeds the possible maximum
| value for the unit. Also some values may exceed the lower limit of parameters
such as module width.
Changing the printer type
The overlay utility allows you to change the printer type in the overlay
specifications. The overlay utility checks the compatibility between previously
defined overlay elements with the newly specified printer type. If the overlay
utility finds any mismatched elements, the overlay utility displays the
| confirmation display and lists these elements on the display. You can then
| delete the elements or cancel the change overlay specifications.
When the parameter values of the elements become incorrect by changing the
parameter values of the overlay specifications, a warning message is displayed.
| You can adjust parameter values of those elements by pressing the Enter key, or
| you can change the parameter values of the overlay specifications to correct the
errors.
The following table describes the cause of warning messages and the results.
