Chapter 3 — Working with Fonts and Graphics

6 Translate each line into a string of three ASCII characters. For a list of
ASCII characters and binary equivalents, see
page 76.
For example, reading from left to right, the first line is:
01000000
01000010
The equivalent ASCII characters are @B@. The entire format should
look like this:
@B@
@E@
`H@
PP@
H`@
D@A
B@B
<DEL><DEL>G
~CB
|CA
xc@
pS@
`K@
@G@
@B@
7 In a new text file, write command strings to place the printer in
Advanced mode and then in Program mode:
<STX><ESC>C<ETX>
<STX><ESC>P<ETX>
8 Write a command string to create a user-defined character, and define its
size as 15 x 15 dots:
<STX>G1;x15;y15<ETX>
9 Add command strings for the graphic format you created in step 6.
Place the ASCII start of text character at the beginning of each line,
followed by the "Graphic or UDC, Define" command syntax (u).
Number each line from 0 to 14, and then add the ASCII end of text
character to the end of the line:
<STX>u0,@B@<ETX>
<STX>u1,@E@<ETX>
<STX>u2,`H@<ETX>
<STX>u3,PP@<ETX>
<STX>u4,H`@<ETX>
<STX>u5,D@A<ETX>
<STX>u6,B@B<ETX>
<STX>u7,<DEL><DEL>G<ETX>
<STX>u8,~CB<ETX>
<STX>u9,|CA<ETX>
<STX>u10,xc@<ETX>
<STX>u11,pS@<ETX>
<STX>u12,`K@<ETX>
<STX>u13,@G@<ETX>
<STX>u14,@B@<ETX>
