[Outline] This command deﬁnes the font of the alphanumeric or Kana download characters.

• y denotes the number of vertical bytes.

• c1 denotes the start character code and c2, end character code, respectively. When deﬁning

only one character, set c1 = c2.

• The deﬁnable character code is the 95 ASCII code characters from <20>H to <7E>H.

• x denotes the number of horizontal dots to be deﬁned.

• d denotes the data to be deﬁned; a horizontal x dots pattern from the left. The right

remaining pattern results in spaces.

[Caution] • Once the download characters are deﬁned, they will remain valid until they are redeﬁned,

ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.

• If y, c1, c2, or x is beyond the range, this command will be ignored, processing the

subsequent data as normal one.

• In case of the 7 × 7 font, deﬁne the data so that the horizontally adjacent dots will not be

contained, because they cannot be printed.

[Default] Identical pattern with the internal character set
