Definition of download character( such as alpha numeric).
1. “s” indicates a number of bytes in a vertical direction and “a” is a number of dots in
horizontal direction.
2. “n” indicates the start character code, and “m” means the end character code. If only 1
character should be defined, then n = m.
3. Definable characters are from <20>h to <7E>h in ASCII code (95 characters).
4. “Dn” indicates the data to be defined. It indicates the “a” dots pattern from the left.
Remaining area on the right of a character is filled with spaces.
5. Once a download character is defined, it remains valid until the download character is
redefined, printer is initialized, or the power is turned off.
6. Only area specified will be reset.
