PERSONALITY Personality for implicit switching (implicit 
switching refers to switching to the default 
personality without explicitly doing so with the 
@PJL ENTER command). Note that the 
value string (PCL, ESCP, and so on) for each 
installed personality is defined by the 
personality itself. When the personality is 
changed, memory is reconfigured and all 
downloaded fonts and PCL macros are lost 
(however, no I/O data is lost). Refer to 
“Commands that Affect Printer Memory” in 
Appendix A.
