Defines one or more new NLQ characters and stores them in RAM forlateruse. Memory Switchmustbe setto“DOWNLOAD”, andNLQ mode must be selected before this command is executed.

nZ is the character code of the first character defined and n2 is the character code of the last character defined. nZ must be equal to or less than n2.

Each character is defined by three attribute bytes and data bytes. The first attribute byte m0 specifies the left space, the second at- tribute byte ml specifies the character width, and the third attribute byte m2 specifies the right space.

The dot density is doubled in each direction, so each character consists of 18 dots vertically and ml dots horizontally and requires (ml x 3) data bytes. Since the vertical definition of the character is 18 dots, each byte represents a third of vertical definition.

For further details, please refer to chapter 8.

Defines one or more new draft characters and stores them in RAM forlateruse. Memory Switch must be set to”DOWNLOAD”, and draft mode must be selected before this command is executed.

nZ and n2 give the number of bytes of character data that will follow. mOis the character code of the first character defined, ml and m2 are attribute bytes. dZ to dZZ are the character data.

The attribute byte ml 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.
