Selects user defined character set in nonvolatile
EEPROM buffer
If the user defined character set in RAM is selected and the set does not
exist, an empty set will be created. Any user defined bit-image will be
erased. Any characters referenced that are not defined will be replaced as
follows: equivalent Code Page 437 character in Axiohm 7193 emulation
and equivalent current code page character in Epson TM-T8x emulation.
If the user defined character set in the nonvolatile EEPROM buffer is
selected and the set does not exist, this command will be ignored. (See the
GS
‘
command for saving a user defined character set in the RAM buffer to
the nonvolatile EEPROM buffer).
