IBM Mode

IBM Mode allows nine user defined characters to be defined. See Table A-2for defined characters:

Table A-2. User character definition: IBM Mode

1.X'15'

2.X'16'

3.X'17'

4.X'18'

5.X'19'

6.X'1A'

7.X'1C'

8.X'1D'

9.X'1E'

The byte that follows the command byte represents an address betweenX'15' and X'1A', or between X'1C' and X'1E' in the currently selected character set. This byte is followed by eight bytes, which define the actual bit patterns of the user-defined character.

Table A-3 on page A-4shows the format of these eight bytes.

Note: A hyphen character in the table indicates a do-not-care bit. The other values relate to the character pixel positions shown in the diagram following the table. A value of 1 in the appropriate place in the data stream indicates that the related pixel position is ON; a 0 indicates that it is OFF.
