Unit 5: Optional Command Codes

E/Pro Programming Reference

5-23 PN: 9001096E

CHARACTER, CUSTOM DESIGNED

FUNCTION

To allow for the creation, storage, and printing of custom characters, such as special fonts or logos. Up

to 50 individual characters may be stored in the custom character volatile memory.

FORMAT

Store Command: <ESC>Tabcc

Recall Command: <ESC>Kab90cc

a = 1 16x16 matrix

2 24x24 matrix

b = Specifies the character encoding method for the data stream

H Hexadecimal characters

B Binary characters

cc = Memory location to store/recall the character. Valid memory locations are 21

to 52 (counting in Hex) or “!” or “R” in Binary.

(data) = Data to describe the character

The Store command is typically sent in its own data stream to the printer, between the Start/Stop

commands. The Recall command is sent in a secondary data stream to print the character, and follows

any necessary position or size commands.

EXAMPLE

<ESC>A

<ESC>T1H3F0100038007C00FE01FF03FF87FFCFFFE07C007C007C007C007C00<ESC>Z

<ESC>A <ESC>H150<ESC>V100<ESC>L0505<ESC>K1H903F

<ESC>H350<ESC>V100<ESC>L1010<E SC>K1H903F <ESC>Q1

<ESC>Z

OUTPUT

(5-9)

NOTES

When printing the custom character using the Recall command, the character is affected by the

following commands: Character Expansion Character Pitch Line Feed Rotate, Fixed Base Reference

Point

The characters are stored in volatile memory and must be reloaded if the printer power is lost.

Do not use ASCII <CR> or <LF> characters (carriage return or line feed) as line delimiters within the

graphic data or the actual image will not be printed as specified.
