Explanation (1) Type of writable character
Up to 44 and 49 writable character sets can be stored for the flash card and the
ATA card, respectively. However, the maximum number of characters varies
depending on the writable character size and number of characters because of
the limited memory capacity. For writable character sets 41 to 44, each writable
character size is fixed.
(2) Character code
Up to 224 characters can be stored per character set. The maximum number of
characters are 40 sets × 224 characters = 8960 characters. It varies depending
on the writable character size and the number of characters because of the limited
memory capacity. For character sets 41 to 44, a character code consisting of 1
byte is stored. However, when the character code is called up, F0H is added to
the upper digit of it, and consists of 2 bytes. In this case, up to 188 characters
can be stored per character set.
(3) Only a 4-MB flash memory card can be used for storing a writable character.
(4) The configuration of the writable character file stored in the ATA card is as follows.
1st byte No. of dots for left offset
2nd byte (from upper to lower)
3rd byte No. of dots for top offset
4th byte (from upper to lower)
5th byte No. of dots for character height
6th byte (from upper to lower)
7th byte No. of dots for character width
8th byte (from upper to lower)
9th byte No. of dots for horizontal spacing/proportional spacing
10th byte (from upper to lower)
11th byte
Writable character data (Hex. data)
(If it is stored in the nibble mode, data is 8 bits/byte.)
(5) When writable characters are stored in the ATA card, the “GAIJI” directory is
created, and then the directory for each writable character set is created under the
“GAIJI” directory level as shown on the next page. One writable character file is
created in the writable character set directory per writable character.
