➁ Only a 4 line Dataliner can send out line number 3.
➂ Message packet is ignored.
➃ A line number of 30 indicates that the host is requesting that the text be displayed on both lines 1 and 2. The first
20 characters (small display) or 40 characters (large display) will be displayed on line 1, and the second 20
characters (small display) or 40 characters (large display) on line 2. If more than 40 characters (small display) or
80 characters (large display) are received, characters (41-80) or (81 to 160) will be displayed on the second
screen and characters (81-120) or (161 to 240) will be displayed on the third screen, etc.
The baud rate must be set to match the baud rate of the host device.
