User-Defined Characters (External Characters)

The ESC/P emulation mode allows you to use user-defined characters (external
characters).
User-defined characters are stored in the memory (if the optional hard disk is not installed)
and are erased when the printer is switched off.
If the hard disk is installed, user-defined characters are stored in the hard disk and are
retained even when the printer is switched off.
User-defined characters are stored as bitmap fonts and cannot be shared among different
print languages.

Font Cache

Outline fonts of up to a certain size can be cached to improve print speed. When printing
outline fonts, the printer converts them into bitmap fonts. This process can be eliminated by
storing converted bitmap fonts into the memory. This is called "font caching".
The stored bitmap fonts are erased if you switch the printer off or initialize the system.
