[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.
