Data Structure	ASCII	ESC "&"		NUL	<x> <y>		<d0> <d1> <d2> n1...n3	(data first character)
	hex.	1B	26 ...				<d0> <d1> <d2> n1...n3	(data second character) ...
	dec.	27	38 ...
Description	x		first character to be redefined
	y		last character to be redefined
	d0		leading space of the character
	d1		number of columns of the defineded character
	d2		following space of the character
	n1...n3		three 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
	print quality			d0	d1	d2	d0+d1+d2
	DPQ 10 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 12	≥ 0	≤ 12
	DPQ 12 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 10	≥ 0	≤ 10
	DPQ 15 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 8	≥ 0	≤ 8
	LQ 10 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 36	≥ 0	≤ 36
	LQ 12 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 30	≥ 0	≤ 30
	LQ 15 cpi			≥ 0	≤ 24	≥ 0	≤ 24
	LQ proportional			≥ 0	≤ 42	≥ 0	≤ 42
	LQ super/subscript			≥ 0	≤ 37	≥ 0	≤ 37

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.
