Star Micronics NR-10, NR-15 user manual 108

108

ml to ml1 are the column data we defined along the bottom of the grid; ml the left-most column value, m2 the next, and so on. You must define eleven data, even if the last few data are 0. For the flask, the complete command will be:

CHR$(27);CHR$(38);CHR$(O);CHR$(60);CHR$(60); CHR$( 139);CHR$(2);CHR$(5);CHR$(8);CHR$(241);

CHRS(O);CHR$(O);CHR$(~~I); CHR$(8);CHR$(S); CHR$(2);CHR$(O)

Put this command into the appropriate syntax for the lan- guage you are using. Before you run the program and send the data to the printer, remember to chzck that DIP switch l-3 is set to off.

The last requirement is the command to make the printer use the downloaded characters stored in RAM instead of the standard character set stored in ROM. The command is:

< ESC > “%” n

Where n is either “1” (CHR$(49), to select), or “0” (CHR$(48), to cancel). If you want your new characters to be included in a standard character set, you may copy the standard set stored in ROM into the download RAM, which will save you switching back and forth between the download area and the standard ROM. If you wish to use this option, make sure that you copy the standard characters into RAM before you download your own, because the last-copied characters replace previously copied ones. The command to copy the standard characters into the download RAM area is:

<ESC> “:” CHR$(O);CHR$(O);CHR$(O)

To recap, the order of commands if you wish to use various user-defined characters with the standard set is:

•Select the draft characters: < ESC > “x” 0

•Copy standard character set to RAM: < ESC> “:” CHR$(O) CHR$(O) CHR(0)
