Chapter 4 — Control Code Definitions

k1 is the character code of the first character to redefine, k2 is the

character code of the last character to redefine (any character between

0-255 can be redefined), and (k1 could equal k2, if only one character is

defined).

For each character defined, you must supply 12 bytes of data.

•

s1 is the first byte that describes the character format

•

Bits 0-3 represent the end position in the grid

•

Bits 4-6 represent the start position in the grid

•

Bit 7 determines whether the character uses the top eight pins or the

bottom eight pins of the printhead. If bit 7 = 0, the top eight pins are

used. If bit 7 = 1, the bottom eight pins are used. The start and end

positions are ignored during character imaging, but must be accurate

to redefine the character code. d1...d11 is the data that comprises the

dot image pattern of the defined character.

When printable code expansion is enabled with ESC I, the Printable

Code Area Expansion function, and the user-defined character set is

selected with ESC "%" (1), the Select User-Defined Set function, then

the codes (less than 20h and greater than 7Fh) can be defined for use and

are printable.

When printable code expansion is enabled with the Enable Printing of

Codes 128-159 function, and the user-defined character set is selected

with the Select User-Defined Set function, then codes (between 80h and

9Fh) can be defined for use and are printable.
