User Defined Characters
This section describes user-defined characters and how characters are
copied into printer memory.
Copy ROM to RAM
The characters in ROM are copied into RAM, so a complete
user-defined character set is created by editing selected characters.
This ensures that all characters are defined when a user-defined
character set is selected. This eliminates the need to cancel the
selection when printing defined characters.
Define User Defined Characters
Characters are redefined by the user in the currently selected mode.
However, they can only be used in draft mode.
Note:
RAM-based definition or redefinition of standard characters is
only useful when the default SBCS code page is selected. There is no
method to redefine characters in the other code pages since unique
code pages can be created and loaded into the printer memory.
Note:
This function is only useful with the default SBCS.
