Linking Commands
You can combine PCL emulation commands by linking them 
if
 the first 3 bytes of the 
commands are identical. The combined, short form sends the first 3 bytes only once 
in the string. To combine commands:
Use the first 3 bytes (characters) of the command only once at the start of the 
command string.
Make the last letter of each command in the string lowercase.
Capitalize the last letter of the string.
For example, notice that the first 3 bytes of these two commands are the same:
ESC
(s10H
Select 10 characters per inch
ESC
(s4099T
Select Courier typeface
To combine these two commands, use this form:
ESC
(s10h4099T
which is 3 bytes shorter than the long form:
ESC
(s10H
ESC
(s4099T
You can combine more than two commands; for example, you can add Select Stroke 
Weight Bold (
ESC
(s3B
) to the previous two commands:
ESC
(s10h3b4099T
or in the long form: 
ESC
(s10H
ESC
(s3B
