[Outline] This command defines the font of the alphanumeric or Kana download characters.
• y denotes the number of vertical bytes.
• c1 denotes the star t character code and c2, end character code, respectively. When defining
only one character, set c1 = c2.
• The definable character code is the 95 ASCII code characters from <20>H to <7E>H.
• x denotes the number of horizontal dots to be defined.
• d denotes the data to be defined; a horizontal x dots pattern from the left. The right
remaining pattern results in spaces.
[Caution] • Once the download characters are defined, they will remain valid until they are redefined,
ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
• If y, c1, c2, or x is beyond the range, this command will be ignored, processing the
subsequent data as normal one.
• In case of the 7 × 7 font, define the data so that the horizontally adjacent dots will not be
contained, because they cannot be printed.
[Default] Identical pattern with the internal character set
