Define user-defined character set
ASCII
ESC &
s c1 c2 [character 1 data] ... [character k data]
Hexadecimal
1B 26
s c1 c2 [character 1 data] ... [character k data]
Decimal
27 38
s c1 c2 [character 1 data] ... [character k data]
Values and ranges:
Receipt:
s
= 3, the number of bytes (vertically) in the character cell
c
= the ASCII codes of the first
(c
1) and last (
c
2) characters respectively
c
1 = Hex 20–FF (20 is always printed as a space)
c
2 = Hex 20–FF (20 is always printed as a space)
To define only one character, use the same code for both
c
1 and
c
2
k = c2 – c1 + 1
= the number of characters to be defined in this command string
[character i data] = [ni d1 ... d(3 x ni)]
for
1 ≤ i ≤ k
ni
= the number of dot columns for the ith character,
1 ≤ ni ≤ 16
d
= the dot data for the characters
The number of bytes for the ith character cell is
3 x ni.
The bytes are printed down and across each cell.
Defines and enters downloaded characters into RAM. The command may be used to overwrite single characters. User-defined
characters are available until power is turned off or the initialize printer command (1B 40) is received.
Any invalid byte (s, c1, c2, n1) aborts the command.
Slip:
s = 0
c
= the ASCII codes of the first
(c
1) and last (
c
2) characters
respectively
c
1 = Hex 20–FF
c
2 = Hex 20–FF
To define only one character, use the same code for
both
c
1 and
c
2
d
= the column data for the
n
th character as specified
by
d
1 ...
d
12
Each character is defined by 12 bytes (only bytes 2–11 are printed.)
Each byte is one column (full- or half-dot column.)
Overlapped dots are not printed.
The data must contain [(
c
2 -
c
1 + 1) x 12] bytes. (See illustration.)
Defines and enters downloaded characters into RAM or flash. The command may be used to overwrite single
characters. User-defined characters are available until power is turned off or the initialize printer command (1B 40) is
received.
Any invalid byte (
s
,
c
1,
c
2,
n
1) aborts the command.
User-defined character sets for both slip and receipt may be used at the same time.
s = 2
B780, slip only
.
