2 Write a command string to create a user-defined font:
<STX>T3,FONT3<ETX>
3 Write a command string that defines the width and height for cells that
contain characters in this font. For this example, the width and height
are defined as 10 and 14 dots respectively:
<STX>x10;y14<ETX>
4 Write a command string that creates the specific ASCII character and
defines the width of that character. For this example, the user-defined
graphic corresponds to the $ symbol (ASCII character 36) and has a
width of 12 dots:
<STX>t36;z12<ETX>
5 Add command strings for the character format you created earlier. 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,|q@;<ETX>
<STX>u1,~sA;<ETX>
<STX>u2,FcA;<ETX>
<STX>u3,FcA;<ETX>
<STX>u4,<DEL><DEL>C;<ETX>
<STX>u5,<DEL><DEL>C;<ETX>
<STX>u6,FcA;<ETX>
<STX>u7,FcA;<ETX>
<STX>u8,N<DEL>A;<ETX>
<STX>u9,L~@;<ETX>
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each character in your user-defined font. You
must create and download all characters in a user-defined font at the
same time. If you try to add other user-defined characters to an already
existing user-defined font, you erase previously created characters.
7 Write a command string to place the printer in Print mode:
<STX>R<ETX>
8 Save the text file and send it to the printer.
