Purpose Defines a new character to replace any used or unused symbol point in the Character Library in a specific print mode and pitch.

Expression SFCC c is followed by ASCII characters: {PP}{SSSSSE}{A}{data}

NOTE: Each parameter is visually separated by paired brace symbols for clarity. Do not input these brace pairs in the command sequence.

where	{PP} is the print mode and pitch at which the character will print. These
	values are defined via control panel by SFCC X (page 6-58).
	{SSSSSE} is the decimal value between 0 and 65535 representing the
	symbol point of the new character in the Character Library (page
	NO TAG); E is the terminator following this numeric field. No leading
	zeros are required.
	{A} is the single-digit character attributes flag representing the characF
	ter position in the character cell. Bits 0 through 3 are turned on (1) or off
	(0) to define particular character attributes as follows:
	Bit 0 indicates that the character descends below the bottom of the
	print line (lowercase descenders);
	Bit 2 indicates that one or two dot rows near the bottom of the charF
	acter will be repeated until the next print line starts (used for graphF
	ics characters);
	{data} represents the two-digit hex values for each dot column of the
	character. The Least Significant Bit is the bottom dot row.

- IMPORTANT -

If a downloaded character replaces a predefined character in a font, that character will be changed in every character set or international language in which that symG bol is used.

Comment Refer to Appendix E for complete information on Downloading Characters and practical examples.

User-defined characters have priority over standard Printronix characters. Downloaded characters can be accessed via SFCC V, Download a Language, described on page 6-31, or by replacing a used symbol point in the Character Library.
