(2) Pattern data structure 
The pattern data structure and data creation rules are explained below. 
a)Rules 
● Each pattern data unit consists of 8 bits. For each bit, dot presence is indicated by the value 1 
 (dot present) or 0 (dot not present). 
● Vertically arrayed 8 dots correspond to 8 bits (1 byte). 
● For character sizes of 4×5, 5×5, 7×10, 5×7, and 9×7, etc., some portions of 8-bit data are 
unavailable. Set such portions to "0".  
(Even if you set them to "1", processing will be performed with their settings changed to "0".) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: The maximum inter-character space of 7 x 10 is 1 dot at the maximum.
