(2) Define the download characters.

When character codes where the download character is written are specified as (21)H, (22)H, (23)H, n1 = (21)H, n2 =(23)H are obtained.

If the relationship between the character pattern data and printing head is specified to “not use pin 9”, m0 = (80)H is obtained. When data m1 to m7 are converted into hexadeci- mal data, they are indicated as follows.
