Basic message editing
54 3 — Creating and sending messages
Using characters to change the look of a message
Characters are options that change the appearance of text in a
message. For example, normal-sized text (called Seven Row Normal) is
seven rows of LEDs high, but some signs allow you to create text 15 or 16
rows high with the 15/16 Row Normal option. In this example, we will
create a message that displays airline fares.
NOTE: Some characters are not available on some signs. For a
list of what is available, see “Appendix C — Character
fonts and colors available on signs” on page 139.

Example 2: How to display airline fares.
A single message will
be used to create
large text on two-line
signs and normal text
on one-line signs.
In this example, the Roll mode, 15/16 Row Normal text, and the New Line option are
used to display airline prices for several cities. Just like Example 1, this setup has a
variety of uses, such as announcements and anniversaries.
