Explanation
(1) a1 and a2 refer to a Chinese character code to define writable characters. a1
refers to the 1st byte, and a2 the 2nd byte.
(2) d refers to data to be defined. A bit corresponding to a dot to be printed is 1, and
the one corresponding to a dot not to be printed is 0.
(3) Font A accepts 94 characters.
(4) At a moment when an error occurs with parameter a1 or a2 due to a factor such as
an unmatched condition, command processing will be aborted, and the data
subsequent to a2 will be processed as normal data.
(5) The defined writable characters apply until resetting or until the printer is turned off.
