(11)Registered Letter Valid/Invalid (ESC + “%”) Command

Whether a registered pattern is valid or invalid is set with ESC (1BH) + ”%” (25H) + n code being input.

n = 1 (01H): Registered pattern to be made valid.

(Addresses for which no registration change has been conducted are taken as inside fixed characters.)

n = 0 (00H): Registered pattern to be made invalid. (Taken as inside fixed character sets.)

With CBM-920 emulation 40-digit version, to use the registered characters, it is necessary to set the registered characters to be valid using this command. With iDP3110 emulation and CBM-920 emulation 24-digit version, the registered characters are valid at the registration of the user-defined characters without setting the registered characters to be valid.

To reset to the state where inside fixed characters are usable while registered characters are valid, it is necessary to disable the registered characters. Command for setting to invalid operates regardless of the emulation or number of digits.

(12)Character Registration (ESC + “&”) Command

1.For 24-column model (ESC + “&” + A1 + A2)

Individual patterns can be registered by entering the code ESC (1BH) + ”&” (26H) + A1 + A2, then entering the pattern data.

A maximum of 224 characters can be registered, and any address in the range of 20H to FFH can be used for the registration. However, if a new pattern is registered in an address already in use, existing data is cleared and the newly entered data becomes valid.

[Address setting]

Specified address is matched to the character code and can be accessed likewise to the stored fixed character record. If a fixed character is defined in the specified address, the fixed character becomes invalid.

A1 signifies the starting address for the registrations, A2 is the ending address. When A1<A2 or (A2-A1)>7 is specified, no registration occurs and data following is treated as print data.
