Table A.0 – Flash Based Font Download Commands
The table below shows the memory map and the way the fonts are located within the
MP200 memory. As you may notice there are many banks. The difference between
the MP200 and the MP300 is that there are no tables in the banks and that is why it is
not necessary that the user specifies table number while downloading Fonts. The user
can enter any number for the table but the number would not make a difference – it
is used only for compatibility with the other models. The ASCII and extended tables
are located right one after another in each bank. The bank numbering starts from
location 8000 with bank 0 and goes vertically. Thus for example Courier Font 1 & 2
International is in bank 0, Courier 3 International is in Bank 1, Courier 1 & 2 Line Draw
is in Bank 4 ( notice that the empty banks do not count)., etc.
