Saving Modified Fonts To save the modified font into flash memory, use ESC D FF hex. The printer
sends a ‘D’ character and then performs the save. When the fonts have been
saved, the printer sends a ‘!’ character to the host. Then, it sends an ‘X’
character every 500 milliseconds.
Next, remove the battery and wait several seconds before replacing it.
