d) Character registration (ESC + & + A1 + A2)
Individual patterns can be registered by entering the code ESC + & + A1 + A2, then entering the pattern
data.
A maximum of 8 characters can be registered, and any address in the range of 20H to FFH can be used for
the registration. However, if a new pattern is registered in an address already in use, existing data is cleared
and the newly entered data becomes valid. If more than 8 characters are registered, all existing character
registration is cleared.
[Address setting]
Specified address is matched to the character code and can be accessed likewise to the stored fixed
character record.
If a fixed character is defined in the specified address, the fixed character becomes invalid.
A1 signifies the starting address for the registration and A2 is the ending address.
[Method of data transmission]
d-1) Single character registration
Select the address to be defined (character code) from among 20H to FFH and designate is as A1.
When registering a single character, starting and ending addresses match each other. Tat is, A1 = A2.
<Example> A 6 × 8 dot matrix full dot pattern is to be registered in address 41H (code for the fixed
character “A”).
(Numerals are hexadecimal.)
