Purpose Defines a new character to replace any used or unused symbol point in the
Character
Library in a specific print mode and pitch.
Expression
SFCC c is followed by A
SCII characters:
{PP}{SSSSSE}{A}{data}
NOTE:
Each parameter is visually separated by paired brace symbols for clarity
. Do not
input
these brace pairs in the command sequence.
where {PP}
is the print mode and pitch at which the character will print. These
values are defined via control panel by SFCC X (page 6-58).
{SSSSSE} is the decimal value between 0 and 65535 representing the
symbol point of the new character in the Character Library (page
NO TAG); E is the terminator following this numeric field. No leading
zeros
are required.
{A} is the single-digit character attributes flag representing the characĆ
ter
position in the character cell. Bits 0 through 3 are turned on (1) or off
(0)
to define particular character attributes as follows:
Bit 0 indicates that the character descends below the bottom of the
print
line (lowercase descenders);
Bit
2
indicates that
one or two dot rows near the bottom of the char
Ć
acter
will be repeated until the next print line starts (used for
graph
Ć
ics characters);
{data} represents the two-digit hex values for each dot column of the
character.
The L
east Significant Bit is the bottom dot row.
- IMPORTANT -
If
a downloaded character replaces a predefined character in a font, that
character
will be changed
in every
character set or international language in which that sym
Ć
bol is used.
