ESC "&" s n m [a[p] s × a]m - n + 1
[Function]
Defining the download character set
<1B>H <26>H s n m [a[p] ... <ps × a>] m - n + 1
[Code]
[Range]
s = 2
32 ≤ n ≤ m ≤ 255
0 ≤ a ≤ 9
0 ≤ p1 ... ps × a ≤ 255
[Outline]
This command defines the download alphenumerals or Katakana. s denotes the number of
bytes in the vertical direction, n the start character code, and m the end character code,
respectively. When defining only one character, set n = m.
The 224 ASCII code characters, 32 to 255, are definable. a specifies the number of dots in
the horizontal direction to be defined. p is the data you want to define and shows the a-dots
worth of pattern in the horizontal direction from the left edge. The remaining pattern on the
right side will be a space. Once the download characters are defined, they remain valid until
they are redefined or the download deletion command (ESC DC2 n1 n2) is executed.
[Default]
Same as the internal character set.
[Caution]
The horizontally adjacent dots cannot be printed. The 2nd-byte data in the vertical direction
is valid only for the most significant bit.
