Explanation
(1)Type of writable character
Up to 44 and 49 writable character sets can be stored for the flash card and the ATA card, respectively. However, the maximum number of characters varies depending on the writable character size and number of characters because of the limited memory capacity. For writable character sets 41 to 44, each writable character size is fixed.
(2)Character code
Up to 224 characters can be stored per character set. The maximum number of characters are 40 sets × 224 characters = 8960 characters. It varies depending on the writable character size and the number of characters because of the limited memory capacity. For character sets 41 to 44, a character code consisting of 1 byte is stored. However, when the character code is called up, F0H is added to the upper digit of it, and consists of 2 bytes. In this case, up to 188 characters can be stored per character set.

(4)The configuration of the writable character file stored in the ATA card is as follows.
1st byte | No. of dots for left offset |
2nd byte | (from upper to lower) |
3rd byte | No. of dots for top offset |
4th byte | (from upper to lower) |
5th byte | No. of dots for character height |
6th byte | (from upper to lower) |
7th byte | No. of dots for character width |
8th byte | (from upper to lower) |
9th byte | No. of dots for horizontal spacing/proportional spacing |
10th byte | (from upper to lower) |
11th byte | Writable character data (Hex. data) |
| (If it is stored in the nibble mode, data is 8 bits/byte.) |
(5)When writable characters are stored in the ATA card, the “GAIJI” directory is created, and then the directory for each writable character set is created under the “GAIJI” directory level as shown on the next page. One writable character file is created in the writable character set directory per writable character.
