SB - Scalable or bitmap fonts
SB [ n ] [;]
n : font category selection
 This command enables you to restrict the range of selectable fonts to scalable fonts and the stick font only.
 n can be 0 or 1. If n = 0 you may only select scalable fonts (or the stick font). If n = 1 you may select any
type of font.
 An SB command can alter the current standard and alternate font selections.
 Setting n to 1 allows the selection of bitmapped fonts and has the following side-effects:
 Bitmap characters cannot be edged.
 Bitmap characters can only be printed in orientations of 0º, 90º, 180º or 270º.
 The SL (character slant) command is not applied to bitmap fonts.
 Bitmap font character sizes are approximate only.
 The DF and IN commands set n to 0, - only scalable fonts and the stick fonts may be selected.
 The FI and FN commands implicitly set n to 1 if you use either of them to select a bitmap font.
 If you omit n from the command, only scalable fonts and the stick font may be selected. This is
equivalent to an SB0; command.
 The default setting is scalable fonts and stick font only.
ES - Extra space
ES [ width [,height]] [;]
width : factor by which character spacing is changed.
height : factor by which line spacing is changed
 This command enables you to adjust the space between label characters and lines.
 width specifies the factor by which to increase or decrease the character spacing. Positive numbers specify
an increase and negative numbers a decrease.
 height specifies the factor by which to increase or decrease the line spacing. Positive numbers specify an
increase and negative numbers a decrease.
 If you use the command without parameters, no extra space is used when labels are printed. This is
equivalent to ES0,0;
 An ES command remains in effect until another ES command is executed, a DF or IN command is
executed or the printer is reset, either with the EscE command or from the control panel.
TD - Transparent data
TD [ mode ] [;]
mode : normal or transparent data mode.
 This command enables you to specify whether control characters should perform their normal function or
should be printed.
