Appendix C— Creating User-Defined Bitmap Graphics and Fonts
IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual 223
4 Ensure that the printer is in 86XX Emulation mode, and then add the
protocol characters and define the bitmap as a user-defined graphic. The
following example gives the graphic the number 3, the name
“diamond,” the dimensions 15 rows by 15 columns, and adds the
ASCII characters necessary for the printer to understand the graphic.
