single- and two-line text can cause unexpected results, especially to inexperienced
users. For example:
In this example nothing has been entered in line 2 (which is being occupied by the
text in line 1), and the standard size text in lines 3 and 4 has been padded with a
space to align with “Medium Text”. (It will line up correctly since the space
between the two blocks of text in line 1 is also at standard size.)
In practice, always run a test print (for example by “sweeping” a piece of paper or
card across the front of the printer) to check message programming.
It may even be useful to map the message out on a grid of squared paper. For a
C34, a grid 4 squares deep will be needed. Use one square per single-line
character, a block of four squares per two-line character and a block of sixteen
squares per four-line character.
(The longest possible message a C34 can print, using all 40 characters at the largest
possible print size for each line, would require a grid 296 squares wide. When
printed, this message would be about 3.5 metres long!)
