16 different combinations of text heights and text justifications are available for single line text here. Four text heights and four text justifications are combined to a total of 16 alternatives.

 

•The text heights are 1.8, 2.5, 3.5, and 5 mm.

 

•The text justifications are Left, Right, Centre, and Midpoint.

 

The difference between Centre and Midpoint is the placement of the insertion point. For the centred text the insertion point is vertically situated in the lower edge and horizontally in the middle. The insertion point for Midpoint adjusted text is in the middle of the text both vertically and horizontally.

 

You use these 16 commands to write one line of text at a time. The commands are repeating. You exit by pressing the <RETURN> button.

 

•First select one of the mentioned commands.  You will be asked to pick the insertion point. Then you type the text.

 

•When you have done that and pressed <RETURN> in the end of the line, the command is repeated and you can pick a new insertion point.

 

The text lines will be placed in text layers TXT18, TXT25, TXT35 or TXT50, depending on the text height.

 

When the command is repeated you can exit it by pressing <RETURN> or <ESC>. Regardless of how you exit the command, you will return to the layer where you were before you started to type text.
