Description x first character to be redefined
y last character to be redefined
d0leading space of the character
d1number of columns of the defineded character
d2following space of the character
n1...n3three data bytes for one column in DPQ and LQ, two data bytes for
superscript or subscript characters or 15 cpi character (DPQ + LQ)
If the download character is only being assigned one character code, specify x = y.
Limitations for d0, d1 and d2

If defined character density (10/12/15 cpi) is selected, d0 and d2 will be ignored and the
defined character is centered.
If more columns than d1 will be defined for one character, it is printed more to the right
and can overlap the next character. The absolute limit for d1 is 15 columns in DPQ and
42 columns in LQ.
