Custom Character Widths

Use the ESC % command to switch between the standard character set and the custom character set.

The custom character set will stay in the printer's memory until:you turn the printer offyou overwrite them

with new custom charactersyou use the ESC : NUL NUL NUL command to overwrite them with the

standard character set.

Use the ESC : NUL n NUL command to copy a complete set of characters resident in the printer to the

area of its memory reserved for custom characters. The new character or characters will become a part

of the character set by replacing one or more of the characters already in the set. The value of n you

choose depends on the font to which you wish to add the custom character.Use the ESC & NUL n1 n2 d0

d1 d2 command to begin downloading a custom character:The variables n1 and n2 represent the decimal

values for the regular characters being replaced by custom characters. If you're downloading more than

one custom character, the characters to be replaced must be adjacent to each other: n1 represents the

first character to be replaced in the series and n2 represents the last character to be replaced in the

series. Custom characters can be assigned to decimal values of 32 to 127. The variables d0, d1, and d2

indicate how the character is to be positioned within the grid.d0 is the width of space to the left of the

character, in dotsd1 is the width of the character itself, in dotsd2 is the width of space to the right of the

character, in dots.

If you're downloading several characters, you only need one ESC & NUL command, and you only need to

include n1 and n2 once, but you must include values for d0, d1, and d2 for each character.
