Defines one or more new NLQ characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. DIP switch 2-l must be OFF. NLQ mode must be selected before
this command is executed. The parameters are the same as for the draft
download character command except that the attribute byte specifies right
space instead of character width and the dot density is doubled in each
direction, so each character consists of 16 dots vertically and 23 dots
horizontally and requires 46 data bytes. Dots defined
by ml to m23 are
printed on the first pass of the head. Dots defined by
m24
to m46 are printed
on the second pass, the paper being scrolled up half a dot between the
two passes. For further details, please refer to the Appendix C.

Defines one or more new draft characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. Draft mode must be selected before this command is executed.
nl and n2 give the number
of bytes of character data that will follow.
a0 is the character
code of the first character defined.
al and a2 are at-
tributes
bytes. ml to ml1 are the character
data, and are the same as in
< ESC > "&." The attribute
byte al indicates
whether the character is
an ascender (not using the lowest of the nine vertical dots) or a descender
(not using the highest dot) and whether it has a downward extension to
12 dots.
The attribute
byte a2 gives proportional-spacing
information. Bit 7 is
ignored. Bits 4 to 6 specify the offset to the first byte printed (0 to 7),
enabling leading spaces in the character to be ignored. Bits 0 to 3 specify
the width of the character cell (maximum 11 dots). The character will
be followed by a mandatory blank dot column which is not included in
this width.
Characters defined by this command can be selected by < ESC > "%"
1, < ESC > "I" 4, < ESC > "I" 5, or < ESC > "I" 6. This command is
ignored when DIP switch 2-l is ON.
