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 to 3 represent the end position in the grid. • Bits 4 to 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. For a list of these characters, see the "Expand Printable Code Area" on page 66. Select User-Defined Character Set After you define a character set using the Define User-Defines Characters function, you can select a user-defined character set. Note: This function is only useful with the default SBCS. 64 6820 Series 80-Column Printer User Manual
