of the character itself and the spaces around it, you can actually
create proportional
width characters
that print at draft speed.
When defining draft characters,
the number of printed col-
umns (ml) cannot exceed 9, and the sum of m0 + ml + m2 can-
not exceed 12.

number.
The standard
characters
are assigned
the ASCII code -
numbers from 0 to 255. For the download character sets you can
define any positions between 32 to 127 and between 160 to 255.
This means that once a character is defined and assigned a value
(and the download character
set is selected), you can use that
character on the printer the same way you would any standard
