HP 5961-0509 manual Example Using the PW Command, 22-30The Line and Fill Attributes Group

	z Pen- Specifies the pen number to which the new width applies. If
	the pen parameter is not specified, the printer applies the width to
	both pens. Specifying pen numbers other than 0 or 1 causes the
	printer to ignore the command.
Note	Pen width does not set the width of lines for drawing labels (unless
	the stroke weight value is set to 9999 [Stick/Arc fonts only]). The width
	of character lines is determined by the stroke weight attribute of the
	Alternate Font Definition (AD) or Standard Font Definition (SD)
	commands.
	A PW command remains in effect until another PW command or a
	WU command is executed. PW is not defaulted by the Default Values
	(DF) command.
