Appendix

The command for the character shown in Figure E-1 is defined as follows:

ESC c {60}{57E}{0};{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}

where:

ESC c

is the Serial Matrix Control Code Header introducing the Download a

Character command.

{60}

is the selected print mode and pitch code from Table E-2 derived from

Print Mode/Pitch Selection Table 6-7 on page 6-59 (where m = 6 repreĆ

senting OCR mode; and n = 0 representing a pitch of 10 cpi.)

{57E}

is the address location in the Character Library where the downloaded

character will be sent. E is the decimal field terminator (required after

each decimal field). Address 57 contains an existing character which will

be replaced by the new character.

- IMPORTANT -

If a downloaded character replaces an existing character in a print mode and pitch,

that character will be changed in every character set or international language in

which that existing character was used.

{0};

is the single-character attributes flag identifying the character with no

attributes (descenders or extenders). The semicolon (;) is the hexadeciĆ

mal data terminator.

{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;}

is the ASCII data generated from each column of the character layout in

Figure E-1.
