DOWNLOAD CHARACTERS
Using the download character command, SOH Az&, you can design
special symbols or graphic patterns or create a custom alphabet. The
following pages describe how to:
•
Define and download characters of your own design
•
Store the characters
•
Select and accept the characters for printing
When you
map
a character, as shown earlier, you re-assign a printable
character that is stored in the printer to a data byte value between 0 and
255. The printer supplies the character data—the shape, size, and style
of the character, as well as the intercharacter space.
When you
download
a character, you supply the character data as well as
map it to a specific data byte value. You are not limited to characters
within the printer's character library. You can create whatever printable
shape you want. If "Input Buffer Size" is set to "Minimum," you can
download up to 128 different characters. Download characters cannot be
remapped.
