[Outline]	This command defines the font of the alphanumeric or Kana download characters.

•y denotes the number of vertical bytes.

•c1 denotes the start character code and c2, end character code, respectively. When defining only one character, set c1 = c2.

•The definable character code is the 95 ASCII code characters from <20>H to <7E>H.

•x denotes the number of horizontal dots to be defined.

•d denotes the data to be defined; a horizontal x dots pattern from the left. The right remaining pattern results in spaces.

[Caution]	•	Once the download characters are defined, they will remain valid until they are redefined,
		ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
	•	If y, c1, c2, or x is beyond the range, this command will be ignored, processing the
		subsequent data as normal one.
	•	In case of the 7 ⋅ 7 font, define the data so that the horizontally adjacent dots will not be
		contained, because they cannot be printed.
[Default]	Identical pattern with the internal character set
