Unit 5: Optional Command Codes
SATO GL4xxe SBPL Programming Reference Page 5-23
CHARACTER, CUSTOM DESIGNED
FUNCTION
To allow for the creation, storage, and printing of custom characters, such as special
fonts or logos. Up to 50 individual characters may be stored in the custom character
volatile memory.
FORMAT
Store Command: <ESC>Tabcc
Recall Command: <ESC>Kab90cc
a = 1 16x16 matrix
2 24x24 matrix
b = Specifies the character encoding method for the data stream
H Hexadecimal characters
B Binary characters
cc = Memory location to store/recall the character. Valid memory
locations are 21 to 52 (counting in Hex) or “!” or “R” in Binary.
(data) = Data to describe the character
The Store command is typically sent in its own data stream to the printer, between the
Start/Stop commands. The Recall command is sent in a secondary data stream to print
the character, and follows any necessary position or size commands.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>T1H3F0100038007C00FE01FF03FF87FFCFFFE07C007C007C007C007C00
<ESC>Z
<ESC>A <ESC>H150<ESC>V100<ESC>L0505<ESC>K1H903F
<ESC>H350<ESC>V100<ESC>L1010<E SC>K1H903F <ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(5-9)
NOTES
When printing the custom character using the Recall command, the character is
affected by the following commands: Character Expansion Character Pitch Line Feed
Rotate, Fixed Base Reference Point
The characters are stored in volatile memory and must be reloaded if the printer power
is lost.
Do not use ASCII <CR> or <LF> characters (carriage return or line feed) as line
delimiters within the graphic data or the actual image will not be printed as specified.
