Creating or Editing a Framing File The framing function allows you to create and edit horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. The framing file can be saved, retrieved, and printed. As shown in the example below, a frame is made of single or double horizontal lines and single vertical lines. NOTES: • An International or Symbol daisy wheel is necessary to print frames contain- ing horizontal double lines and all vertical lines. • There is no page or margin control. The number of columns cannot be changed, even if the PITCH setting is altered. • The framing function is completely separate from the text function, and is only for the purpose of creating lines on the screen and printing them. Because of this, text and lines may not be displayed nor printed at the same time. Once your frame is printed, use the TW application to type the text. Operation Modes The editing functions are divided into three different modes: MOVE, ADD, and DEL (delete). The shape of the cursor changes according to the mode. Mode & Cursor Shape MOVE ( ) ADD ( lid ) DEL ( ti ) Use this mode to... Freely move the cursor without drawing. Draw vertical and horizontal lines by moving the cursor in the appropriate directions. Delete vertical or horizontal lines by moving the cursor along existing lines in the appropriate directions. The cursor must be moved along the line in the same direction in order to remove it, i.e., a portion of a vertical line may not be removed by moving the cursor horizontally through it, nor may a portion of a horizontal line be removed by moving vertically through it. 143
