The second grid can be used for either Letter Quality or proportional

characters. For Letter Quality you do not use all the columns.

There is one restriction in designing characters. Dots in the same row do not

print in adjacent columns. That is, there must be an empty dot position to

the left and to the right of each dot that prints. This is true in draft, Letter

Quality, and proportional mode.

Defining your characters

The first step in defining characters is to place the dots on a grid just as you

want them to print. The examples here, like the ones in the graphics section,

use an

x

to represent each dot.

In the following illustration, you see a draft grid with a simple user-defined

character planned on it.
