Notes:
1. A PQC command can result in a font change in order to provide the desired quality level.
2. The printer changes fonts to satisfy quality selections for all supported code pages except OCR (340),
OCR-A (892), or OCR-B (893). It will not change the selected code page to provide a requested quality.

Text Function Set Commands

The text function set contains the commands and data controls for presenting text information on a logical
page, page segment, or overlay area on the physical medium. The following commands are the text
function set:
The following pages describe the text function set commands.
Load Equivalence (LE)
Length D61D
This command permits Begin and End suppression controls imbedded in data stored within the printer to
reference different external values. For example, internal suppression values of 06, 07, and 09 (from a
Begin Suppression control) can map to an external value of 02 from a Load Copy Control command, if the
printer previously has received an appropriate Load Equivalence command. Thus, the printer can use a
single Load Copy Control suppression pair for more than one suppression value (see "Begin Suppression
(BSU)").
