5.2.5 Print Trigger
NOTE: This option is not available if you select the Line Sensor option.
A trigger is a signal that tells the printer to print or update a message. Touch this button to display the
Print Trigger screen with a list of the trigger types that are available.
Touch the name of the required print trigger to select that trigger and return to the Advanced Line
Settings screen.
5.2.6 Default Message Style
This option allows you to select a default message style for the line. This message style is applied to
all messages that you create for the selected line.
A default message style defines the number of lines in the message, the message height (in number of
ink drops) and the character set used (for example “Western” or “Chinese”). For example, a 1 x 25
Western message style has one line of message, a message height of 25 drops and uses the Western
character set.
Touch the Default Message Style button to display the Select Default Style screen.
Use the scroll bar to move through the available styles. Each style has a graphic for information.
Touch the name of the default message style you require to select that style for your selected line.
