Overstrike (OVS)

This control identifies text that the printer overstrikes with a specified character.
The overstrike character prints using the font and character set that is active
when the printer receives the Overstrike command.
Note: If bit 7 is on, the printer treats all other bits in byte 4 as zeros, regardless
of their values.
An OVS command with a bypass value of 00 ends overstrike mode.
