FUNCTION
Define download character.
OUTLINE
In this section we will define “download characters”.
This printer is able to print the characters expressed by the
character codes in Section 8. In addition, the user can create
special characters, which are called download characters.
A maximum of ten download characters can be defined, and
the defined character pattern is stored in the printer’s RAM.

download characters are lost.
