(14) Defining download characters (ESC & s n m a (D1 D2~Dn))
Code: [1B] h + [26] h + s + n + m + a + Dn
* (s = 03)
(20 ≤ n ≤ 7E)
(20 ≤ m ≤ 7E)
(In the case of Font A, (0 ≤ a ≤ 0C)
(In the case of Font B, (0 ≤ a ≤ 09)
Data are expressed in Hex code.
This command defines download alphanumeric characters.
• s indicates the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• n indicates the starting character code and m indicates the end character code. If
only one character is defined, n is made equal to m.
• Definable character codes are within the range (20) H ~ (7E) H of ASCII code. A
total of 95 characters can be defined.
• a indicates the number of horizontal dots that are defined.
• Dn are the defining data and indicate the pattern of “a” dots from the left end in the
horizontal direction. The pattern remaining on the right end is filled with spaces.
• Once it is defined, a download character remains valid until it is redefined, until
ESC @ is executed, until GS * is executed or until the power is switched OFF.
• It can be known whether characters are downloaded or not by executing ESC v.
(In the case of Serial only.)
