How to choose a scrolling direction for your LED banner
The direction of movement changes how a viewer encounters your message. LED Banner lets you adjust direction, but the best choice is the one that makes your actual text easiest to follow.
App used in this guide: LED Banner ↗
Before you begin
Prepare the final wording before changing direction. Scripts with different reading directions, punctuation and mixed numbers can need a closer visual check than a short word in a single alphabet.
Step by step
- Open the text design in LED Banner.
- Choose the available scrolling direction setting.
- Preview the complete phrase, including punctuation and numbers.
- Compare the other direction and keep the version that is easier to read.
Check the result
Check the beginning and end of each loop. The last character of one pass should not make the first word of the next pass confusing, particularly with short gaps between repetitions.
Limits and troubleshooting
Changing motion direction is not the same as translating a message or changing a script's character order. If the text looks wrong, first verify the entered wording and font rather than manually reversing the letters.
