c ; ASCII character or symbol code
• The command specifies the symbol to be drawn.
• When the PA,PR,PD or PU instruction is used, the specified symbol will be drawn at the end of each

• The specified symbol will be drawn at the end of each vector even if the pen is up when the PA or PR
instructions are used.
• Omitting the parameter field cancels the symbol mode.
