The next step is to tell the printer your newly
designed character. To do this you must send a
CHR$(19) followed by the six numbers you com-
puted above. Here is an example of how this
can be done.
After typing RUN, your custom character will
be stored in the printer's memory. It will retain
this information until the printer is switched off
or until you write over the data by defining a
different character.
To print your newly designed character, simply
send CHR$(126) which corresponds to
hexidecimal value 7E.
