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

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:

A

L505H0150V100K1B903F

L505H0600V100K1B903F

L0303H0125V0250XMTHIS SIDE UP !

The printer output for both the hexadecimal and binary format examples
