option with care.

Topcoat Remove
With a topcoat remove escape, the topcoat is omitted in the areas defined by the escape.
• The topcoat remove statement begins with ~TR%
• Each blocking area is defined as a series of four values (in millimeters) separated by a
space: top left width height .
• A semicolon (;) is used to separate topcoat rectangles if more than one area is specified
within the same escape.
For example: ~TR% rect1top rect1left rect1width rect1height;rect2top rect2left
rect2width rect2height?
• After the last rectangle, the ? character is used to end the escape sequence.
