If you define characters in one mode, such as draft, then switch to mother mode, such as Letter Quality, the command will be ignored and the LQ will print in the currently sekxted font. The user-defined character definitions, however, remain unaffected. If you switch back to the mode in which they were defined, you can then select and print them.

Keep in mind that user-defined characters are stored in RAM, which is not permanent. Whenever the printer power is turned off, all of the user-defined character are lost. Also, your computer sometimes sends an initialization (INfT) signal, which wipes out all userdefined characters. (Some computers do this each time BASIC is loaded.) However, if you’ve saved your userdefined program correctly you can reload the new characters any time you want.
