If defined character density (10/12/15 cpi) is selected, d
0
and d
2
will be ignored and the
defined character is centered.
If more columns than d
1
will be defined for one character, it is printed more to the right
and can overlap the next character. The absolute limit for d
1
is 15 columns in DPQ and
42 columns in LQ.
