• Only the LSB of n is applicable.

 

 

• When the user-defined character set is canceled, the inter-

 

nal character set is automatically selected.

[Description]

Defines user-defined characters.

 

 

Y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.

 

C1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition,

 

and C2 specifies the final code.

 

 

X specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.

[Notes]

• The allowable character code range is from ASCII 20H (32)

 

to 7EH (126) (95 characters).

 

It is possible to define multiple characters for consecutive character codes. If only one character is desired, use C1 = C2.

If C2 < C1, the command is not executed.

d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the horizontal direction starting from the left. Any remaining dots on the right remain blank.

The data to define a user-defined character is ( x x y) bytes.

To print a dot, set the corresponding bit to 1; to not have it print, set to 0.

This command can define different user-defined character patterns for each font. To select the font, use ESC !, ESC⊥ ⊥.
