Program Custom Character
Syntax Esc [5z C n ; R1; R2; . . . R8 Esc [0z
Notes Use this command to create a 5-pixel by 8-pixel display character, where
C n
is the
character number defined in Table 5-2 and
R1; R2; . . . R8
are the row numbers of the
character grid. Each row number consists of two hex values that when concatenated
and converted to binary will turn the pixels in the row on or off (for example, a 1Fh =
00011111). This command is case sensitive,
The right most column of the matrix is always Bit 0. The values in three left most
columns (Bits 5, 6 and 7) are ignored. Any omitted row bytes will default to zero.
Example
To program Character C1 as a large rectangle, you would enter:
Esc [5z C1; 1F; 11; 11; 11; 11; 11; 1F; 00 Esc [0z
