2-51 PCL Linking Commands You can combine PCL emulation commands by linking them if the first 3 bytes of the commands are identical. The combined, short form sends the first 3 bytes only once in the string. To combine commands: • Use the first 3 bytes (characters) of the command only once at the start of the command string. • Make the last letter of each command in the string lowercase. • Capitalize the last letter of the string. For example, notice that the first 3 bytes of these two commands are the same: ESC(s10H Select 10 characters per inch ESC(s4099T Select Courier typeface To combine these two commands, use this form: ESC(s10h4099T which is 3 bytes shorter than the long form: ESC(s10HESC(s4099T You can combine more than two commands; for example, you can add Select Stroke Weight Bold (ESC(s3B) to the previous two commands: ESC(s10h3b4099T or in the long form: ESC(s10HESC(s3BESC(s4099T PCL Emulation Commands See the following tables for a listing of the commands grouped by function. To determine which commands your printer supports, see "Table A-1: PCL Emulation Commands" on page A-1.
