French term

modèle de coiffe

French to English Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing
The term appears in a list of appendices attached to a contract for equipment for a printing company. There is no other information that might give a clue to what it means. My guess was overview or something like that, but that's probably wrong.

chapô, chapeau - Texte d'introduction qui “coiffe” un article, généralement présenté en plus gros, et en caractères gras. À mi-chemin du résumé et de l'accroche, il concentre en quelques lignes l'essentiel de l'information. Le chapô fait partie de la titraille.

Don't know the English; some form of "header"???

headgear or cap

I'd guess, since headgear is used also for equipment, not just for a type of hats to be worn in various countries
