6. To store the custom designed character in memory using a binary data
stream, the command would be:
80H
07H
C0H
0FH
E0H
1FH
F0H
3FH
F8H
7FH
FCH
FFH
FEH
07H
C0H

Note: Spa
ces are shown between hexidecimal values in the above
example for clarity only and are not included in the data string.
Note that the data stream is only half as long as the hexadecimal for-
mat. This is because we can send the binary equivalent of
“11111111” (represented above in its hexidecimal value of FFH), for
example, using one eight bit word while it takes two eight bit words
to transmit the hexadecimal equivalent “F” and “F”. To send binary
characters
using BASIC, the expression “CHR (&HFF) will send the
binary equivalent of FF (i.e., 11111111).
7. To recall the custom character from memory, send the following code
to the printer:
The printer output for both the hexadecimal and binary format examples
is:
