[Description] Defines user-defined characters.
[Notes] • s denotes the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• n specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and m specifies the final
character code. When only one character is defined, use n = m.
• 95 characters can be defined between character codes 20H (32) and 7EH (126) in the
character code table.
• a denotes the number of dots in the horizontal direction. When a < 5, the remaining
dots on the right side of the user-defined characters are padded with spaces.
• p1 ... pk is the dot data to be defined for the characters. This indicates the dot pattern
for a dots in the horizontal direction from the left side.
• The number of data items to be defined is s × a. When 8 bits are specified for the
communication word length, the most significant bit is ignored.
• Once the user-defined characters are defined, they remain effective until they are
redefined,
ESC @
is executed, or the power is turned off.
• When only the user-defined characters are defined and the user-defined character set
is not selected using the
ESC %
command, the user-defined characters are not
displayed.
[Default] Not defined.

[Example] To define the character "" at character code 20H (32):
Figure 5.4.2 Example Bit image Specification
• When the communication word length is specified as seven bits, or when the word
length is specified as eight bits and the most significant bit is processed as “0,” the
user- defined character definition is executed as shown below:
PRINT #1 CHR$(&H1B);CHR$(&H26);CHR$(&H1);
PRINT #1 CHR$(&H20);CHR$(&H20);CHR$(&H5);
PRINT #1 CHR$(&H20);CHR$(&H41);CHR$(&H3F);CHR$(&H41);CHR$(&H20);
Figure 5.4.3 Example Bit image Specification
• When the communication word length is specified as eight bits and the most significant
bit is processed as “1,” the user-defined character definition is executed as shown
below:
PRINT #1 CHR$(&H1B);CHR$(&H26);CHR$(&H1);
PRINT #1 CHR$(&H20);CHR$(&H20);CHR$(&H5);
PRINT #1 CHR$(&HA0);CHR$(&HC1);CHR$(&HBF);CHR$(&HC1);CHR$(&HA0);
