Character Code
The character code is a state variable that must be designated prior to the download of a char-
acter descriptor. Any existing characters with the same code are deleted.
EXAMPLE: Esc *c103E sets the character code to 103. If followed by the Character Descriptor
(Esc ( s # W) command with a valid character descriptor and data, a character is defined in the
code location corresponding to the ASCII lowercase “g”.
HP DeskJet 600, 830, 895, 900 & HP 2000 Series printers support a range of 0 - 65535.
After downloading the font definition, each character in the font must be defined.
