Changing the Character Size
You can control the letter size of the scrolling message. The character size
displayed will always be 5 by 7 if you do not designate a particular character
size. You can control the letter size of the scrolling message..
Characters can be no smaller than 5 by 7. The first number is the width and the
second number is the height. As you did when printing letters on the screen, you
can choose your own combination of character sizes.
You choose the desired character size inside the slash and asterisk. For 9 by 11,
you would type CIDOOCDCDwith no spaces. Use the (SHIFT) and
8
keys to
add the necessary spaces for your line measurement. Lines following will be
9 by 11 unless you insert different character sizes for each line.
Now press (BREAK) and
rn
in the Menu. The messages each have the same height
but are different colors on different lines.
Press (BREAK) and
GJ
at the Menu.
If you want to change the wid th alone, type one number in the control area.
For example, 0CDrn 0 would have a character width of 21 and a character
height of 7. Another example would be 000CID0, which
means a character width of 5 and a character height of 9.
