3.Transfer the image into two bit map representations and then into hexadecimal or binary format.

ROW		BIT MAP			HEX

2	0000	0011	1000	0000	03	80

4.To store the custom designed character in memory using a hexadecimal data stream, the command would be:

<ESC>A

<ESC>T1H3F0100038007C00FE01FF03FF87FFCFFFE07C007C007C007C007C007C007C007C0 <ESC>Z

Note: This should be a continuous data string without any CR or LF characters.

5.To recall the custom character from memory, send the following code to the

printer. Note that you can print other data as well. Also note how the character size was expanded using the <ESC>L command.

<ESC>A <ESC>L0505<ESC>H0150<ESC>V100<ESC>K1H903F <ESC>L0505<ESC>H0600<ESC>V100<ESC>K1H903F <ESC>L0303<ESC>H0125<ESC>V0250<ESC>MTHIS SIDE UP ! <ESC>Q1

<ESC>Z

6.To store the custom designed character in memory using a binary data stream, the command would be:

<ESC>A

<ESC>T1B3F 01H 00H 03H 80H 07H C0H 0FH E0H 1FH F0H 3FH F8H 7FH FCH FFH FEH 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H

<ESC>Z

NOTE: Spaces are shown between hexidecimal values in the above example for clarity only and are not included in the data string.

Note that the data stream is only half as long as the hexadecimal format. This is because we can send the binary equivalent of “11111111” (represented above in its hexidecimal value of FFH), for example, using one eight bit word while it takes two eight bit words to transmit the hexadecimal equivalent “F” and “F”. To send binary characters using BASIC, the expression “CHR (&HFF) will send the binary equivalent

of FF (i.e., 11111111).
