character library, the character for that data byte value is printed from the default character set for the currently selected emulation.

This controls the relationship between data byte values and their associated printable characters. Any printable character from the current character source and character library may be mapped to any data byte value between 0 and 255, enabling you to create custom character maps.

n1 and n2 define the range of data byte values to which the characters are mapped. To map a single character, enter the same data byte value for both n1 and n2.

The number of each character to be mapped to the range of data byte values is specified using two bytes: ca is the least significant byte of the character number, cb is the most significant byte of the character number. ca and cb must be specified for each character in the range n1 through n2.

This control command only maps characters from the currently selected character source and character library. Character source and character library are selected with command SOH Az%. Download characters cannot be remapped.

Maps created using this command are stored until power off, printer reset, or until overwritten by other selections. Selecting a character set or changing emulation mode overwrites current selections.
