Printronix P9000 Series manual

The command for the character shown in Figure E-1 is defined as follows:

ESC c {60}{57E}{0};{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}

where:

ESC c is the Serial Matrix Control Code Header introducing the Download a Character command.

{60} is the selected print mode and pitch code from Table E-2 derived from Print Mode/Pitch Selection Table 6-7 on page 6-59 (where m = 6 repreF senting OCR mode; and n = 0 representing a pitch of 10 cpi.)

{57E} is the address location in the Character Library where the downloaded character will be sent. E is the decimal field terminator (required after each decimal field). Address 57 contains an existing character which will be replaced by the new character.

- IMPORTANT -

If a downloaded character replaces an existing character in a print mode and pitch, that character will be changed in every character set or international language in which that existing character was used.

{0}; is the single-character attributes flag identifying the character with no attributes (descenders or extenders). The semicolon (;) is the hexadeciF mal data terminator.

{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}

is the ASCII data generated from each column of the character layout in Figure E-1.
