Control commands list
4-7
ESC %
[Name] Select/cancel user-defined character set
[Format] ASCII ESC % n
Hex 1B 25 n
Decimal 27 37 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Default] n = 0
[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defined character set.
- When the LSB of n is 0, the user-defined character set is canceled.
- When the LSB of n is 1, the user-defined character set is selected.
ESC &
[Name] Define user-defined characters

[Range] y = 2
32 ≤ c1 ≤ c2 ≤ 126
0 ≤ x ≤ 12 (Font A (9 x 9))
0 ≤ x ≤ 10 (Font B (7 x 9))
0 ≤ d ≤ 255
k = c2 – c1 + 1
[Default] None
[Description] Defines user-defined characters from character code check c1 to c2.
- y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
- x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
- d is the dot data for the user-defined characters.
[Notes] • The relationship between the definition data and printing result is as follows.
Example: Downloaded character definition consists of 9x7 dots.
