Chapter 5 Accessing Characters and Character Sets
User Set Command
Purpose Creates custom character sets (except OCR fonts) from existing
characters stored in printer memory.
Mode Graphics
Format (cc) u
n ca fa
(cc)-
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V
configuration.
u The User Set command; enter u.
n
Selects the User Character Set number; enter a
value ranging from 1 through 8. Values outside this
range produce an error message and the entire
command sequence is ignored.
ca
Represents the ASCII character address cell which
will have its contents replaced with the character
located in the font address (
fa
). The
ca
value must
be one of the 16 hex values specified in Table 44. If
the
ca
value is not one of these ASCII characters,
an error message is displayed, the command
sequence is ignored, and only previous valid
substitutions are made.
fa
Represents the hexadecimal value for the font
address of a specified character in the multinational
character set which will replace the current
contents of
ca
. The
fa
value is the character
substitution for the cell address (
ca
). The value of
fa
may range from hex 20 through FF. If the
fa
value is outside this range, an error message is
displayed and no substitutions will occur.
(cc)- The command terminator. Enter the SFCC for your
Code V configuration immediately followed by -
(Graphics Mode CR) or other valid terminator. The
terminator must be entered to stop this function.
Comment The User Set command is a stand-alone command that must
appear in the first column of a line. You can define up to 16
character substitutions for
each
of the eight custom character
sets, but they need not be addressed all at one time with one
User Set command. Therefore, the maximum number of times
ca
,
fa
can be called within each User Set command is 16.
The character sets in the User Set command are numbered 1
through 8. The character set values in the Character Set
Selection command are numbered 24 through 31 and correspond
to the User Sets 1 through 8. The Character Set Selection
command, discussed on page 258, accesses a character set and
activates it for printing.
