6. To store the custom designed character in memory using a binary data
stream, the command would be:
<ESC>A
<ESC>T1B3F 01H 00H 03H 80H 07H C0H 0FH E0H 1FH
F0H 3FH F8H 7FH FCH FFH FEH 07H C0H 07H C0H
07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H 07H C0H
<ESC>Z
Note: Spa ces are shown between hexidecimal values in the above
example for clarity only and are not included in the data string.
Note that the data stream is only half as long as the hexadecimal for-
mat. This is because we can send the binary equivalent of
“11111111” (represented above in its hexidecimal value of FFH), for
example, using one eight bit word while it takes two eight bit words
to transmit the hexadecimal equivalent “F” and “F”. To send binary
characters
using BASIC, the expression “CHR (&HFF) will send the
binary equivalent of FF (i.e., 11111111).
7. To recall the custom character from memory, send the following code
to the printer:
<ESC>A
<ESC>L505<ESC>H0150<ESC>V100<ESC>K1B903F
<ESC>L505<ESC>H0600<ESC>V100<ESC>K1B903F
<ESC>L0303<ESC>H0125<ESC>V0250<ESC>XMTHIS SIDE UP !
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
The printer output for both the hexadecimal and binary format examples
is:
