of the character itself and the spaces around it, you can actually
create proportional width characters that print at draft speed.
When defining draft characters, the number of printed col-
umns (ml) cannot exceed 9, and the sum of m0 + ml + m2 can-
not exceed 12.
n Assigning a value to your character
We’ve done a pretty through job of designing and describing a
user-defined character. But this printer has room for 35
download characters - how does it knows which standard
character we want to print: every character is assigned a unique
number.
The standard characters are assigned the ASCII code -
numbers from 0 to 255. For the download character sets you can
define any positions between 32 to 127 and between 160 to 255.
This means that once a character is defined and assigned a value
(and the download character set is selected), you can use that
character on the printer the same way you would any standard
