Appendix c

DO W/i/LOAD

CHARACTER GENERATOR

With this printer you can create new characters and symbols, download

their dot data, and have them printed in place of selected characters in the

regular character set. Characters that can be generated in this way range

from simple but useful symbols like the check mark throughcomplex Chinese

or Japanese characters.

The process of designing new characters with paper and pencil is

somewhat time-consuming. The program listed in this appendix enables you

to do everything on the computer screen.

It also enables you to maintain

disk files of character data for downloading when required.

The creation of a car-shaped symbol as a draft character ( r> ) and

near-letter-quality character ( & ) is explained below.
