[Description] Defines user-defined characters.
• y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• c1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and c2 specifies the
final code. When only one character is desired, use c1 = c2.
• x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
[Notes] • This command is valid only when the receive buffer capacity is 40 bytes (when
DIP switch 1-2 is on).
• The range of definable character codes extends from 20H to 7EH among the
ASCII codes.
• Consecutive character codes for multiple characters can be defined in one
definition. When specifying only one character, specify c1 = c2.
• "d" is definition data that indicates the pattern for "x" dots in the horizontal
direction starting from the left edge. If "x" does not satisfy the number of dots in
the character configuration pattern, the remaining dots on the right are spaces.
• The number of bytes required to download a character definition for one
character is "y" × "x."
• In the definition data, a "1" represents a dot that is to be printed, and a "0"
represents a dot that is not to be printed.
• Independent downloaded character definitions are possible for each font. The
font is selected by the ESC ! command.
• The defined downloaded characters are cleared in the following circumstances:
1) When ESC @ is executed.
2) When deleted by ESC ?.
3) When the printer is reset or turned off.
• The maximum number of characters that can be defined is 19 (8 for the
multilingual supporting model).
