PRINTING DOWNLOADED CHARACTERS

Follow this procedure to print downloaded characters:

1.Use the configuration menu to set the printer to accept downloaded characters.

2.Use the command SOH Az& to download characters to RAM as described in this section.

3.Select the downloaded characters for printing. Downloaded characters may be selected when created using SOH Az&. That setting may be changed at any time. You can print from downloaded characters stored in RAM or the currently selected character set stored in ROM, on a character-by-character basis, by changing the data byte source, using SOH Az%, as discussed earlier in this section.

You can print from all downloaded characters stored in RAM by changing the data byte source using SOH Az%, or the "Overlay Characters" option in the configuration menu.

The following pages describe the format of the command used to download characters. Examples and blank matrixes for designing your own characters are provided at the end of this subsection.

After your new characters are downloaded, you can use the "Print Data Byte Map" option on the configuration menu to see how they appear in print.
