ESC =			Define	User-defined		Characters
Format:		=	(n1)	(n2)	...	(nk)
ASCII code:	ESC
Decimal :	27	61	(n1)	(n2)	...	(nk)
Hexadecimal :	1B	3D	(n1)	(n2)	...	(nk)

Comments:

If C is the total number of characters to be defined, B = (C x 13) + 2

n1 = B MOD 256

1-2 = INT(B / 256)

n3 = 20 in all cases

n4 = the code of the first character to be defined

n5 = 0 if the top eight pins are to be used; n5 = 128 for the bottom eight

n6 = 0 in all cases

n7 through nk are the data numbers that define the characters, with 11 data numbers for each character.

The data numbers for each character are determined as shown on the grid below:

Determining data numbers

To print a user-defined character, you must use ESCape I, which is described in this appendix.
