• 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. • x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction. • d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the horizontal direction from the left side. Any remaining dots on the right side are blank. • The allowable character code range is from ASCII code 20H(32) to 7EH(126). • The data to define a user-defined character is (y Ч x) bytes. • Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 to not print a dot.
