The [ESC] # <0> command begins high speed draft print mode (one pass, 7 x 7 font).
Enhanced, emphasized, subscript, superscript, and underline character attributes are
not available in HSD mode. To maintain optimum print speed, the printer should be
returned to HSD mode when enhanced print is not required.

Utility mode is a one pass, 9 x 7 font. Utility print mode enables enhanced,
emphasized, subscript, superscript, and underline character attributes. Print speed is
reduced approximately 20 percent over the HSD mode.
NLQ Courier and Sans Serif print modes are two pass, 9 x 7 fonts. The print speed is
reduced and character features are added to the font to enhance the appearance.
[ESC] x < is identical to [ESC] I in normal mode. [ESC] ! <n> performs a similar
function; however, NLQ is not available.
