Term

Sets the code range when a 2-byte writable character code is stored in flash ROM on the CPU board.

[ESC] XE; a1a1a1a1, b1b1b1b1, a2a2a2a2, b2b2b2b2 ------ , anananan, bnbnbnbn [LF] [NUL]

aaaa:First character code for each range

2020 to FFFF (Indicates the hex. data in ASCII code.)

bbbb:No. of characters for each range

0001 to 4000 (Indicates the hex. data in ASCII code.)

Explanation

(1)For a 2-byte character code such as Kanji, the character code range may be divided into two or more. The control information area for the unnecessary codes can be deleted by designating the character code range, and the capacity of flash memory is not wasted.

(2)The total number of characters for each range must not exceed 0x4000 (16384 characters).

(3)Up to 2700 can be designated for the range.

(4)A character code which is not appropriate for the setting for this command cannot be stored.

(5)The first character code for each area to be set,p should be sent in the ascending order. Each area must not overlap. If these are not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.
