You'll probably recognize
dl d2 . . . . dx from the top of our
layout grid. That's right, each column is described
by three
bytes. Now we've got everything
we need to download
one
character
to the printer.
The complete
command
for our car
character is shown below:
CHR$(27);CHR$(38);CHR$(O);CHR$(6O):CHR$(6O):
CHR$(l);CHR$(9);CHR$(2);CHR$(l);CHR$(24O);CHR$(O):
CHR$(6);CHR$(8);CHR$(O);CHR$(8);CHR$(lOO);CHR$(O);
CHR$(O);CHR$(O);~$(O);CHR$(24);CHR$(99);CHR$(l28):
CHR$(O);CHR$(O);CHR$(O);CHRS(3l):CHR$(255);CHR$(l92~;
CHR$(O);CHR$(O);CHR$(O);CHR$(6);CHR$(3);CHR$(O)
Now let's send the information
to the printer. The following
program
will send
the
character
definitions
for all two
characters to the printer. Before you enter the program, turn off
the printer
and set the DIP switch 2-3 off. Otherwise,
your
printer will ignore your download definitions.
After you set the DIP switch correctly, enter the program and
run it.
10 LPRINT CHR$(27);"xO";
20 LPRINT CHR$(27);'*&";CHR$(O);CHR$(6O):CHR$(6l);

40 FOR M=l TO 30
50 READ MM
60 LPRINT CHR$(MM);
70 NEXT M
80 NEXT N
