Star Micronics NB24-10/15 user manual Maximum Maximum

In the example program above, before we defined the new characters, we selected the Draft print mode. By doing this, we caused user-defined characters to print as draft characters because user-defined characters assume the mode that is in ef- fect at the time they are defined.

The modes that affect user-defined characters are draft, and letter quality printing. (The (ESC) “x” n command selects be- tween draft (n = 0) and letter quality (n = l).)

The commands for defining characters, selecting the download character set, and copying ROM are exactly the same for each of the user-defined print styles. The print mode in ef- fect when the characters are defined determines the mode of the user-defined characters.

The print mode determines the size of the grid upon which the

characters are designed and the speed at which they print. - Table 7-l shows the different character grid sizes for each of the

print modes.
