(7) Defining the download characters (ESC & s n m a {D1 D2 ~ Dn})
Code : [1B]h + [26]h + s + n + m +a + Dn
* {s = 03}
{20 ≤ n ≤ 7E}
{20 ≤ m ≤ 7E}
{For the Font A; 0 ≤ a ≤ 0C, For the Font B; 0 ≤ a ≤ 09}
The data is described with the hexadecimal code.
Defines the font for the download characters of alphanumeric characters.
• "s" denotes the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• "n" denotes a start character code, and m denotes an end character code. When defining only one character,
n should be equal to m (n = m).
• Definable character codes are ASCII codes, totally 95 characters ranging from <20>H to <7E>H.
• "a" denotes the numberof dots in the horizontal direction to be derection to be defined.
• "Dn" is the data to be defined and denotes a pattern corresponding to "a" dot in the horizontal direction
from the left end. The right remaining pattern is filled with space.
• Once the download characters are defined, they remain effective until redefinition, execution of ESC @,
executionofGS*,orpower-off.
