Mixing Print Styles - Epson LX-810 User Manual

User-defined Characters
The command format is: ^
ESC : 0 n 0 ^
Note: This command will cancel any user-defined characters you
have created. You must send this command to the printer before
you define characters.
If you use this command at the begirming of a program, then
define your special characters and select the user-defined character ^
set, you can print with the user-defined character set as your
normal character set. You never need to switch back and forth
between sets.
Mixing print styles ^
The user-defined character set can be used in combination with
most print styles. For example, emphasized and double-wide ^
printing both work well with user-defined characters.
The sample below shows the heart character printed in two
different styles.
Normal
Double-wide
Keep in mind that user-defined characters are stored in RAM,
which is not permanent. Whenever the printer power is turned off
or yoiu: computer sends an initialization (INIT) signal, all of the
user-defined characters are lost. (Some computers do this each time ^
BASIC is loaded or when certain application programs start up,
and most computers do it if you have to reset them.) If the
program resets the printer with the ESC @ command, the ROM ^
set is selected, but the user-defined characters are not lost.
