Escape Sequence

Function

 

 

 

ESC & NUL P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 v1 .. vn

Define User Defined Characters

 

P1

= first code table position

 

 

 

(P1 = 0/0...P2)

 

P2

= last code table position

 

 

 

(P2 = P1...7/F)

 

P3

= front space

(P3 = 0/0...5/0)

 

P4

= body length

Draft: (P4 = 0/0...0/F)

 

 

 

LQ: (P4 = 0/0...2/5)

 

P5

= rear space

(P5 = 0/0...5/0)

 

v1 .. vn = binary data in hex

 

 

 

(vn = 0/0...F/F)

Notes: - This Command defines one or more characters in a RAM character table.

-All User Defined Characters are erased when the printer is switched off.

-Set the Interface Buffer to 1k or 8K (max 50 defined char in LQ, 128 in draft), or use a RAM card for up to 128 User Defined Characters in LQ.

-Set maximum every second dot to "1" in a horizontal line !

-User Defined Characters can be defined in four different print modes:

resolution (vertical x horizontal)

Normal Size with Draft:

24 x 15

Normal Size with LQ / proport.:

24 x 37

Sub-/ Superscript with Draft:

16 x 15

Sub-/ Superscript with LQ / proport.:

16 x 37

-The characters can only be activated in the same mode as defined.

-The character layout is coded in three bytes (24 bit vertical) or two bytes (16 bit vertical) per column, top to bottom.

-To print the character change to the User Defined Character Set with ESC % .

Examlpe: vertical box, normal size with draft at code table position "41" (P3=8, P4=5, P5=8)

hex: 1B 26 00 41 41 08 05 08 FF FF FF 00 00 00 80 00 01 00 00 00 FF FF FF
