menu.

The list at the bottom of the Color pane displays the plates used in the layout, as well
as the default Halftone, Frequency, Angle, and Function settings. Generally, the
default settings in the plate list give you correct printing results. However, you may
need to adjust these settings for your particular circumstances. A dash in a column
indicates that the column entry is not editable.
The Plate column lists spot colors and process inks in the document when you
choose Separations from the Mode drop-down menu. The Setup drop-down
menu at the top of the Color pane specifies which layout plates are listed.
The Halftone drop-down menu lets you assign a different screen angle to a spot
color. The default screen values for spot colors are specified in the Halftone
drop-down menu in the Edit Colors dialog box (Edit > Colors > New).
The Frequency column lists the line screen frequency value. This is the lines per
inch (lpi) value that will be applied to each of the color plates. If you do not want
to use the default value for a plate, choose Other from the Frequency drop-down
menu to display the Frequency/Other dialog box.
The Angle column lists the screen angle for each color plate. If you do not want
to use the default value, choose Other from the Angle drop-down menu to display
the Angle/Other dialog box.
To specify alternate dot shapes in printed screens, choose an option from the
Function column drop-down menu.

composite color device)
The Setup drop-down menu also contains all output styles listed in the Default Output
Styles dialog box (Edit > Output Styles).
