Transmission of a three-line message
Without parameters, on jet 1, outside of library, with fonts 16 x 12 No. 56, 5 x 6 No. 83, 5x6 No.
84 and 7x6 No. 160.
ATTENTION
When a message contains more than two lines, all the lines must be
of the same length, i.e. have the same number of rasters, in order to
be printable in "reverse message" direction.
Calculation of the longest line (line 2):
Block 1, line 2 = 6 characters x bolderization 2 x 12 rasters/character = 144
Block 2, line 2 = 17 characters x bolderization 1 x 6 rasters/character = 102
Total line 2 = Block 1 + Block 2 = 246 rasters
Calculation of number of balancing rasters for line 1:
A DOVER ... COMPANY = 28 characters x bolderization 1 x 6 rasters/character = 168
rasters
Number of balancing rasters = 246 - 168 = 78 rasters
I.e.: 18 rasters in front of the text and 60 rasters after it.
Calculation of number of balancing rasters for line 3:
FRANCE = 6 characters x bolderization 2 x 6 rasters/character = 72 rasters
Space in front of "FRANCE" = block 1 of line 2, i.e. 144 rasters.
Number of rasters after "FRANCE" = 246 - (144 + 72) = 30 rasters
Block 2 line 2
