Presentation Text Command Set
A Write Text command can span to another Write Text command. That is, if a
Write Text command ends after the control sequence has begun (the 2B has
been received), and before all of the control sequence parameters have been
received, this Write Text command spans to the next Write Text command.
Spanning also occurs if a Write Text command ends between chained controls.
Between the spanned Write Text commands, only STM, XOA, and NOP
commands are valid. All other commands received at this time result in an
error. The printer uses the following controls with the Write Text command:

In this Write Text description, references made to pages also apply to overlays
and page segments.
The print data is a string of 1-byte code points. The printer uses the code point
to identify the character metrics obtained from the Font Local ID (See “Load Font
Equivalence (LFE)” on page 34) to determine the character raster pattern.
