Figure 10. The Relationship between Home State, Overlay State, and Block State

Page Segment State
The printer enters the page segment state from the home state as a result of receiving a Begin Page
Segment command. A parameter in the Begin Page Segment command provides an identifier for later
references to this segment.
Page segments assume the environment (Logical Page Descriptor, Load Font Equivalence, and Load
Equivalence) that is active at the time the segment is presented.
While in a page segment state, the printer can only receive commands to write text, image, bar code, and
graphics blocks.
Figure 11 shows the relationship between the home state, page segment state, and block
states.
