your characters, and the second pass dots on the lines. Remeber
that adjacent dots may not overlap on the same pass; in other
words, if one dot is in a box, its adjacent dot on the same pass
may not be on a line. Therefore, to make smooth characters, put
the dots needed to overlap any spaces in a character in the ap-
propriate places in the second pass grid.
If we replot our flask for NLQ, the grid data will look like

Ggure 6-7. Add the values of the dots in the boxes first, and then
add the values on the lines.
The defining process is the same as for draft characters, ex-
cept that you must select NLQ characters by using (ESC) “x” 1
first to select the NLQ mode, and you must define 22 data (ml
to m22). If you wish to print your NLQ characters with the stand-
ard character set, the remarks regarding the simultaneous use
of standard and download characters in the draft character sec-
tion apply equally to NLQ characters.
