Character Definition Examples

	Bitmap Portrait Character Example
	To download a bitmap character descriptor and data for a portrait,
	10 Pitch, 12 point, upright medium, Courier lower-case “p”, send:
	EC*c112E (112 is the decimal character code for an ASCII
	lower-case “p”)
	EC(s140W [character descriptor and data]
Note	Notice that the 140 appearing in the Character Definition Command
	accounts for 2 bytes of the Character Data Block Header, 14 bytes
	of Character Descriptor, and 124 bytes of Character Data. Since the
	Character Width is 26 dots, 4 bytes are needed per raster row. Also,
	since the Character Height is 31 dots, 124 bytes of Character Data for
	a Class 1 character is needed (4 × 31 = 124). No continuation block is
	to be expected.
