Symbols, Creating Standard User Defined

data The data required to define the symbol. Each dot
row of a standard size symbol contains three
character cells comprised of four dot rows each,
which equals a total of 12 dots per row. Since the
standard size symbol can only be 12 dot rows by 12
dot columns, the maximum number of character
cells used to define a standard size symbol is 36
(12 dot rows X 3 character cells per row). ASCII
characters from hex 0 through F are used to
describe the dot pattern for each cell of the symbol.
Enter hex values from 0 through F from Table 17 to
describe the dot pattern.
If more than 36 character cells are input, the extra
data is ignored until a valid terminator, such as
(cc)G, (cc)-, or (cc)* is found.
(cc)G Terminator. Enter the SFCC for your Code V
configuration immediately followed by G, the
universal terminator, or another valid Graphics
Mode command.
The z
x command creates a special standard-sized symbol. When
you are ready to
print that symbol, use the Z command as
described on page 123.
The z
x command must be within a valid graphics sequence. The
symbol can measure up to 12 dot rows wide by 12 dot columns
high, based on 60 x 72 dots per inch resolution. You can create
and store up to seven standard size symbols in printer memory.
The created symbols remain in memory until they are redefined,
the printer is reset, or the printer power is turned off.
