Notes on the use of user defined characters
This section contains some general notes on the use of characters defined by
the user.
Storage of characters defined by the user
The characters defined by the user are stored in the RAM of the printer. Only one
character set can be loaded. When switching off the printer, the set of characters
defined by the user is deleted. Therefore, it must be possible at any time to re-
load the characters.
The control command ESC @ does not delete the character set defined by the
user.
Characters defined by the user in various print qualities
By means of the control command ESC %, the character set defined by the user
is selected. To print the characters, the print quality (draft or LQ) appropriate to
the character definition and the appropriate print mode (proportional spacing or
superscript/ subscript) must also be activated.
For example, if draft characters were defined (i. e. the draft print quality was ac-
tivated before the character definition using ESC &), the draft print quality must
be switched on.
If you change to a different print quality or print mode the user defined graphics
can not be used.
