(1)
The writable character data to be stored is separated into four dot units and sent in
above-mentioned order (
1
→
248
). (Upper digit: “3”)
(2)
The data of writable characters to be stored is 30H to 3FH.
(3)
The minimum unit in the X direction is 8 dots. Dots with no data are transmitted as data
0.
(4)
The data count of writable characters to be stored must be as follows:
Data count of writable characters to be stored =
{(No. of char. width dots + 7)/8} × No. of char. height dots × 2
* The value in the brackets is rounded down to the nearest whole number.
[Hex.
mode]
(1)
The writable character data to be stored is separated into eight dot units and sent in the
following order (
1
→

).
(2)
The data of writable characters to be stored is 00H to FFH.
(3)
The minimum unit of character width is 8 dots. Dots with no data are transmitted as data
0.
(4)
The number of bytes of the writable character to be stored must be as follows:
