Define User-Defined Characters
Description:
Redefine characters in the currently selected mode. For each character defined, you
must supply 12 bytes of data.
s1
is the first byte that describes the character format:
•
Bits 0 to 3 represent the end position in the grid.
•
Bits 4 to 6 represent the start position in the grid.
•
Bit 7 determines whether the character uses the top eight pins or the bottom eight
pins of the printhead. If bit 7 = 0, the top eight pins are used. If bit 7 = 1, the bottom
eight pins are used. The start and end positions are ignored during character
imaging, but must be accurate to redefine the character code.
k1
is the character code of the first character to redefine.
k2
is the character code of the last character to redefine.
•
Range for
k1
and
k2
is 0 to 255, as any character in that range can be redefined.
•
k1
can equal
k2
if only one character is redefined.
d1 ... d11
is the data that comprises the dot image pattern of the defined character.
Decimal:
27 38 0
