font, and data type – normal (binary) or Hex ASCII. Uppercase S or U – binary, lowercase u – Hex
ASCII. See Appendix H for additional information. Values S00 to S9z, and U00 to U9z (u00 to
u9z), select a scalable font, either internal or downloaded.
S00 and S01 are used for the standard internal (resident) fonts on display-equipped printers, while
S01 is used for the standard internal (resident) font on non-display models.
