In the example, blank spaces are added at the beginning and end of each

line so the message is centered.

Remember, you can make the characters double width but you can only

use half the total number of characters if you do this. For example, if you

want Coffee to be double wide, you need 12 spaces. For more

information about double wide characters, see Using Double Wide

Characters on page 20.

You can also use characters other than those on the Department keys,

such as numbers, punctuation, and international letters. See the

Alphanumeric Code Chart on page 18.

This is an example of a programmed Store Logo:
