chapter 5 D O C With this printer you can create new charactem and symbols, download their dot data, and have them printed in place of selected characters in the regular character set. Charactem that can be generated in this way range from simple but useful symbols like the check mark through complex Chinese or Japanese charactem. Regular charactem[...]

I ● ● ● ● The minimum width of a character is five dots. The user-defined charactem may use eight dots vertically. Dots cannot overlap — that is, you may not have a dot inside a box next to one that is on a line. You may define any position in the ASCII table. Photocopy the grid in Figure 5-2 to help design yournew characters. We will use[...]

This determines how the character is seated on the line: Ascender: !l~~h: Descender: !...!:::,}!:’2 ., .,,. We decided that our car symbol will not be a “descender”, so[...]

! Now, we calculate the vertical numerical values of the columns of dots, and enter them underneath the grid. For example, looking at Figure 5-3, we see that intheleft-most column there are five dots, and they am sitting in the “64” box, “32’’box, “16” box, “’8” box, and “4” box. Thus itsverticalvalue is 124. In the next col[...]

D The computer may respond with the following message, asking which printer to[...]

If you print from the DOS command level very often, it will be advantageous to cn?ate a printer setup fde. Then instead of setting font etc. manually each time, you can complete the setup with a single command from your computer. For example, you can create a file containing printer commands to select near letter quality, and select elite pitch wit[...]
