Commands
• y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• c1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and
c2 specifies the final code.
• x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
• d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the
horizontal direction from the left side. Any remaining dots on
the right side are blank.
• The allowable character code range is from ASCII code
20H(32) to 7EH(126).
• The data to define a user-defined character is
(y
×
x) bytes.
• Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 to not print a dot.
