FORMATTING MESSAGES
77091 Issue 2 November 2003 71
Text which fills more than one message line can also be printed. The C34, for
example, allows text up to four lines high to be printed.
Note that text larger than one line projects down from the line into which it is
written. Therefore, text which fills more than one message line can only be
included if there is room beneath it to form the entire dot matrix. For example,
16x10 text cannot be placeed on the last line of a message in a C34 since each line
is only seven dots high, it can only be placed on the first or third line.
Where a piece of text fills more than one message line, the other text in the
message must be placed carefully to make room for it. If necessary, the printer will
shift any text on succeeding lines to the right of multi-line text. For example:
“Large text” occupies two message lines so “Second small text” is shifted to the
right to make room:
Note that the two lines of small text do not line up. This is because the first line of
the message has a space after the end code e. To correct this, begin the second line
with a space:
LARGE TEXT
FIRST SMALL TEXT
SECOND SMALL TEXT
LARGE TEXT
FIRST SMALL TEXT
SECOND SMALL TEXT
c2LARGE TEXTe FIRST SMALL TEXT
SECOND SMALL TEXT
c2LARGE TEXTe FIRST SMALL TEXT
SECOND SMALL TEXT
