[Range] y = 2

0 ≤ x ≤ 12 (Font B)
0 ≤ d1 ... d(y x x) ≤ 255
[Description] Defines user-defined characters.
• y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
• c1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and c2
specifies the final code. When only one character is desired, use c1 = c2.
• x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
[Notes]
• Consecutive character codes for multiple characters can be defined in one
definition. When specifying only one character, specify c1 = c2.
• "d" is definition data that indicates the pattern for " x" dots in the horizontal
direction starting from the left edge. If " x" does not satisfy the number of
dots in the character configuration pattern, the remaining dots on the right
are spaces.
• The number of bytes required to download a character definition for one
character is " y" x " x".
• In the definition data, a "1" represents a dot that is to be printed, and a "0"
represents a dot that is not to be printed.
• Independent downloaded character definitions are possible for each font.
• The font is selected by the "ESC !" command.
• The defined downloaded characters are cleared in the following
circumstances:
1) When "ESC @" is executed
2) When deleted by "ESC ?"
3) When the printer is reset or turned off

ESC * m nL nH d1...dk
[Name] Select bit-image mode
[Format] ASCII ESC * m nL nH d1...dk
Hex 1B 2A m nL nH d1...dk
Decimal 27 42 m nL nH d1...dk
[Range] m = 0, 1
0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 3
0 ≤ d ≤ 255
[Description] Selects a bit-image mode using m for the number of dots
specified by nL and nH
• Divide the number of dots to be printed by 256. The interger answer is nH
and the remainder is nL. Therefore, the number of dots in the horizontal
direction is calculated by nL + 256 x nH.
• If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a
line, the excess data is ignored.
• d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or
to 0 to not print a dot.
• The bit-image modes selectable by m are as follows.
m
No. of Vertical
Dots
Dot Density
Adjacent
Dot
Maximum
number of dots
0 8 Single Density Permitted 252
1 8 Double Density Permitted 504
[Notes]
• If the values of m and nH are out of the specified range, the following data
is processed as normal data.
• After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing
mode.
• The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
follows.
