Creating User-Defined Font
Each data byte represents six bits in the bitmap. The following example lists the
command and data required to define a font with the two characters "$" (t36)
and "i" (t105).
The maximum size for each font character is 4 x 4 inches (1600 x 1600 dots). It is
possible to define up to 100 characters.
To download a six bits per byte format
1. Draw the character on graph paper.
2. Change the graph paper drawing into a pattern of ones and zeros.
3. Starting with the first column, divide each vertical column into groups of
5-24
six digits. (If the bottom group has less than six digits, add zeros to this
group until it also has six.) The six digits in each group are the six bits that
you download in a byte of data. The top digit of each group is bit 0, and the
bottom digit is bit 5.
