[Outline] Defines the font of download characters of alphanumeric characters.
• "s" indicates the number of bytes in vertical direction.
• "n" indicates the start character code and "m" the end character code. To define only one
character, set n=m.
• Character codes definable includes 95 ASCII codes in total between 32∼126.
• "a" indicates the number of dots in horizontal direction for definition.
• "p" is the data to be defined, which indicate a pattern equal to "a" dot in horizontal direction
from the left end. The rest of the pattern on the right side is filled with space.
The rest of data to be defined is s×a.
• Download characters thus defined remain valid until redefinition, ESC @ execution, GS

[Caution] Download characters and download bit images cannot be defined simultaneously.
Running this command clears the definition of the download bit image.
[Default] Same as the internal character set
