vYou must erase the sector of the flash EPROM where this data is stored before you define the characters. (See “Erase Flash EPROM Sector” on page 121.) You must also predefine the character matrix for the impact DBCS code. (See “Microcode Tolerance (MCT) Information - Request” on page 123.)

vThe flash EPROM sector 6 contains the double-byte character set for both the thermal and impact printheads. To redefine a character for an address that is already downloaded, you must erase and reprogram all double-byte characters.

vTo define a character for an address that is not yet downloaded, you can download a character using this command.

vThe inter-character spacing should not be included in the character matrix – it is set by a different command.

vThe address range that can be defined is shown in Table 14.
