Acknowledge the registered external character after the screen data transmission on the display unit. The text corresponding to the input text code displays on GP-Pro EX.
External characters can be registered only when the English standard font with a font size of 8 x 16 pixel or larger is selected. 8 x 8 pixel is not supported.
To create an external character, draw it with single-byte characters (within 8 x 16 dot) with reference to the origin of the mark creating area (0, 0).
External characters cannot be rotated.
When you print text in Alarm, external characters are not outputted. The results, depending on printer types, are as follows:
For NEC PR201, EPSON ESC/P, HP Laser Jet, and Text ASCII:
Direct code output of the text codes
For EPSON PM/Stylus:
Image output of Code Page 850 characters
If you were using the Character code (0x80 to 0xFF) of the Western standard fonts in a CSV file while registering external marks, and you want to display the marks in the Special Data Display [CSV Display] and [CSV Data Transmission] on the display unit, they will be converted to the external characters that were registered in the mark screen.
