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 ESC(s4099T Select 10 characters per inch 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
