Define User-Defined Character Set

Defines and enters downloaded characters into RAM. It may be used to overwrite single characters. The user-defined characters are available until power is turned off, the Initialize Printer (1B 40) command is received, or a downloaded bit image (1D 2A) is defined. User-defined characters and a downloaded bit image cannot be used at the same time. The command clears bit image logo data from RAM. Any invalid byte (s, c1, c2, n1, n2) aborts the command.

ASCII

1B 26 s c1 c2 n1 d1

27 38 s c1 c2 n1 d1

ESC & s c1 c2 n1 d1

... nn dn

... nn dn

... nn dn

s = 3, the number of bytes (vertically) in the character cell

c = the ASCII codes of the first (c1) and last (c2) characters respectively c1 = Hex 20-FE (20 is always printed as a space)

c2 = Hex 20-FE (20 is always printed as a space)

To define only one character, use the same code for both c1 and c2

n = the number of dot columns for the nth character as specified by n1 . . . nn n = 0-10 (standard pitch), 12 and less acccepted but ignored

n = 0-8 (compressed pitch), 12 and less accepted but ignored

d = the column data for the nth character as specified by d1 . . . dn The number of bytes for a character cell is s x n1

The bytes are printed down and across each cell

See the illustration on the facing page.
