MODEL 346 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
5.3 CUSTOM MESSAGE OPTION
Custom Messages can be up to 16 alpha-numeric characters long and can be printed at any time by using the
operator menu or an internal trigger as described in Section 3.4. The up/down arrow keys are used to select a
message number from one to 10.
5.3.1 MESSAGE ENTRY
The up/down/side arrow keys are used to define a 16-character message string. See section 4.4 for the library of
message characters and numbers. When scrolling through the character listing, the speed of the scroll increases
after the first six characters and again after the next six characters. Stopping the scroll causes a return to the
initial, slow, speed.
5.3.2 COLOUR SELECT
The up/down arrow keys are used to select the colour (violet, red, black, green, blue or brown) in which the
message is to be printed.
5.3.3 ACTION EQUATION
Operation of the ENTER key allows editing of the custom-message action equation. This action equation defines
the internal triggers that cause each custom message to print. See Section 3.4 for a discussion of internal triggers
and action equations.
