CHARACTER GENERATOR
With this printer you can create new characters and symbols, download
their dot data, and have them printed in place of selected characters in the
regular character set. Characters that can be generated in this way range
from simple but useful symbols like the check mark through complex Chinese
or Japanese characters.
The process of designing new characters with paper and pencil is time
consuming. The program listed in this appendix enables you to do everything
on the computer screen. It also enables you to maintain disk tiles of character
data for downloading when required.
The creation of a telephone symbol as a normal character ( t ) and
super/subscript character ( t ) is explained below.
