[Function] Registers Chinese download characters to c1 and c2 addresses. Those already registered to these
addresses are overwritten.
If c1 and c2 are outside of the defined are or the printer is model not equipped with Chinese fonts
(for overseas) and when the specification for the location of use is specified as SBCS (single byte
countries) by the memory switch, the printer discards up to d1 and dk.
Chinese download characters once defined are valid until redefined or the power is turned OFF.
Defined Chinese download characters are accessed with two-bytes, in the same way as other Kanji
characters. At that time, c1 is the first byte, c2 is the second byte.d1, d2 • • • d32 are character data.
