2800 Series Marquee
2.5 Tutorial #2, Displaying Two Lines of Two Inch Text
By embedding [Control-Z][1] and [Control-Z][2] sequences in the message text literal section, we
direct the 2800 to display two lines of two inch text. Send the command diagrammed below to the marquee.

To use Magic to send the command diagrammed above, type the following into Magic's blue terminal area:
[Control-B][A]
[Escape]
[Control-Z][1][T][w][o]
[Control-Z][2][L][i][n][e]
[Control-E]
This command is very similar to the one used in Tutorial #1, but the embedded [Control-Z][n] sequences
substantially modify the marquee printing behavior. A [Control-Z][1] sequence instructs the marquee to
display text in a two inch tall font, on the top half of the marquee. A [Control-Z][2] sequence instructs the
marquee to display text in a two inch tall font, on the bottom half of the marquee.
After sending the above command, the marquee will display the word “Two” in a two inch font left justified on the
top half of the marquee, and the word “Line” in a two inch font, left justified on the bottom half of the marquee.
Experiment by changing the text after the [Control-Z][1] and the [Control-Z][2] in the message text
literal section. Be sure to experiment with combining a short message on one line, and a long message on the
other. Note that when operated split line, the marquee can display non-scrolling text and scrolling text at the
same time. (Assuming message scrolling is enabled, see section 1.15 for details)
