Defines one or more new characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. EDS switch A-3 must be setOFF: otherwise RAM isused
as an inputbuffer, notdownloading characters, and thiscommand is
ignored.
n/ is the character code of the first character defined and n2 is the
character code of the last character defined.
n/ must be equal to or
less than }?2.
The data for each character startwith three bytes specifyingpropor-
tional spacing attributes: the first byte, mO,specifies the left of the
character: the second byte,
ml, specifies the character width: the
third byte,
n?2,specifies the right of the character.
These values must not exceed the following maximum limits:

Next comes thedotdata. Normal character height is24dots, sothere
must be 3 x
mf bytes of dot data. If the printer is in super/subscript
mode, however, the character height is 16dots, so there must be 2 x
ml bytes of dot data.
Each databyte indicateseightverticaldots, withthemost significant
bit being the top dot, and the least significant bit being the bottom
dot.
