sequence following it.

escape code and comprising a printer command.

temporarily override factory defaults.

Different fonts can be selected for printing. Fonts can refer to
the printer’s internal fonts, or fonts stored in optional font
cards or on your computer.
Font card Small, thin, credit card size electronic devices that
contain fonts.
Font characteristics Font orientation, character height, stroke
weight, and typeface. What a printed font looks like.

a computer network, prior to the transfer of data. The purpose
of handshaking is to determine the readiness of each device
to exchange data.
