characters are shown as follows.
• When using text displayed according to values of devices, the characters are counted as single-byte
characters and the display area for the characters is indicated by dotted lines. Therefore, when the text
to display according to values of devices is double-byte characters, the display area actually required

vertical size of the dotted lines is displayed as 2 single-byte characters.
