ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1 ... d(y × x1)] ... [xk d1 ... d(y × xk)] defines user-defined characters from character
code c1 to c2. y and x are the configuration of a user-defined character. y specifies the number of
bytes in the vertical direction. x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction. Character
codes from the alphanumeric characters (20H (decimal 32) to 7EH (decimal 126)) can be defined by c1
and c2. Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. As the default, user-defined
characters are not defined and the internal character set is printed. Once the user-defined characters
have been defined, they are available until ESC ?, ESC @, or GS
characters are redefined; the power is turned off; or the printer is reset. When this command is
executed, the downloaded bit image is canceled.
ESC ? n cancels the user-defined characters defined for the character code n. After the user-defined
characters are canceled, the internal character set is printed.
