[Defined Area] Thermal : 0 ≤ d ≤ 255
k = 72, c1 and c2 differ according to specifications and code type (see table below).
Slip : 0 ≤ d ≤ 255
k = 32, c1 and c2 differ according to specifications and code type (see table below).
Validation : 0 ≤ d ≤ 255
k = 32, c1 and c2 differ according to specifications and code type (see table below).
[Initial Value] Thermal : All spaces
Slip : All spaces
Validation : All spaces
[Function] Registers Chinese download characters to c1 and c2 addresses. Those already registered to these
addresses are overwritten.
If c1 and c2 are outside of the defined are or the printer is model not equipped with Chinese fonts
(for overseas) and when the specification for the location of use is specified as SBCS (single byte
countries) by the memory switch, the printer discards up to d1 and dk.
Chinese download characters once defined are valid until redefined or the power is turned OFF.
Defined Chinese download characters are accessed with two-bytes, in the same way as other Kanji
characters. At that time, c1 is the first byte, c2 is the second byte.d1, d2 • • • d32 are character data.
The defined ranges are shown below. (* The registration region is the same for Japanese characters
in JIS or shift JIS.)
Specifications c1 c2 Registration count
Japanese characters/JIS type c1 = 77h 21h ≤ c2 ≤ 7Eh 94 Characters
Japanese characters/Shift JIS type c1 = ECh 40h ≤ c2 ≤ 7Eh

They are designed as shown below and data is sent sequentially.
