Defines one or more new draft characters and stores them in RAM for later use. Draft mode must be selected before this command is executed. nl and n2 give the number of bytes of character data that will follow. a0 is the character code of the first character defined. al and a2 are at- tributes bytes. ml to ml1 are the character data, and are the same as in

<ESC > “&.” The attribute byte al indicates whether the character is an ascender (not using the lowest of the nine vertical dots) or a descender (not using the highest dot) and whether it has a downward extension to 12 dots.

The attribute byte a2 gives proportional-spacing information. Bit 7 is ignored. Bits 4 to 6 specify the offset to the first byte printed (0 to 7), enabling leading spaces in the character to be ignored. Bits 0 to 3 specify the width of the character cell (maximum 11 dots). The character will be followed by a mandatory blank dot column which is not included in this width.

Characters defined by this command can be selected by < ESC > “%” 1, < ESC > “I” 4, < ESC > “I” 5, or < ESC > “I” 6. This command is ignored when DIP switch 2-l is ON.
