Creating Window Legends for Back-lit Display Windows
3.11.1
Overview
Legends are created for the Omni8/16C on a laser or inkjet printer using the software templates
provided with the product.
Templates for popular programs are supplied on a 3,5” ‘stiffy’ diskette with your panel-mount
Omni8/16C. There are templates for Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint to run on an IBM
compatible computer running the Windows95, Windows 98 or Windows NT operating systems. There is
also a README.TXT file on this disk. Read this first to see which versions of program are compatible
with these templates.
3.11.2
Creating the Legend Film
To create the legend film, follow this procedure:
1.
Start the application program you wish to use.
2.
Open the appropriate template from the ‘stiffy diskette’ supplied.
3.
Fill in your legend details in this template.
4.
Print the legends created onto overhead transparency film (the type used for overhead
presentations). A sheet is included with the product.
5.
Cut along the cut marks which will print onto the film to produce the number of individual
legends required.
6.
Insert them into the Omni8/16C as described in section 3.12
Please note that the supplied templates have been tested on a wide range of printers. Your particular
printer may scale the image slightly differently. While the front grid markings should accommodate this
tolerance, in exceptional circumstances you may have to alter the grid spacing on the template
supplied. This needs to be done once only and will then be set for your printer.
The correct size for each legend film insert is 21.5mm high x 60mm wide.
