ESC &a+6C Move six columns to the right of the current position

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 (s10H ESC (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 (s10H ESC (s3B ESC (s4099T
