•Scrollmessagecontent
DisplayingscrollmessagesrequiresagreatdealofCPUprocessingpower.Whenusingscrollmessages,
programs should be tested by actually displaying them before operation.
· Making the background color transparent will increase the load.
· Scroll messages with a larger display area place a larger load on the PC. Do not make the scroll message
display area unnecessarily large.
· If there are a lot of characters in a scroll message line, display may become distorted. If this occurs, start a
newline.(Upto100charactersperlinerecommended.)
•PowerPoint
Set PowerPoint data so that it plays repetitively by setting slide transition to advance slides automatically
(automatic slideshow).

frames in the same program. It should also be noted that PowerPoint Viewer only proceeds to play slideshows
when the focus is on itself. Do not click other frames with the mouse or another tool when PowerPoint content
is displayed.
