The bit map of thecharacter isjust the pattern of dots inthecharacter, starting
at the top left of its cell. You work your way across the cell and down to the
bottom right, giving each dot a value of Oif it’s not to be printed and 1if it
is. Then you group those dots as 8-bit bytes.

The last step in downloading your own font is to make the font permanent or
temporary, using the Font Control command described earlier. The com-
mand <ESC> *c 4 F will allow the font to be erased when you reset the
printer. But the command <ESC>*C5 F will keep your font available even
after you reset the printer.
