E-5 Appendix
The command for the character shown in Figure E-1 is defined as follows:
ESC c {60}{57E}{0};{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}
where:
ESC c is the Serial Matrix Control Code Header introducing the Download a
Character command.
{ 60 } is the selected print mode and pitch code from Table E-2 derived from
Print Mode/Pitch Selection Table 6-7 on page 6-59 (where m = 6 repreĆ
senting OCR mode; and n = 0 representing a pitch of 10 cpi.)
{ 57E } is the address location in the Character Library where the downloaded
character will be sent. E is the decimal field terminator (required after
each decimal field). Address 57 contains an existing character which will
be replaced by the new character.
- IMPORTANT -
If a downloaded character replaces an existing character in a print mode and pitch,
that character will be changed in every character set or international language in
which that existing character was used.
{ 0 } ; is the single-character attributes flag identifying the character with no
attributes (descenders or extenders). The semicolon (;) is the hexadeciĆ
mal data terminator.
{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}
is the ASCII data generated from each column of the character layout in
Figure E-1.
