Immediate Command Functions
Introduction
When the printer receives an Immediate Command, its current operation will be
momentarily interrupted to respond to the command. Immediate Commands may be issued
before or after System-Level commands; however, they may not be issued among Label
Formatting Commands or during font or image downloading. Immediate Commands consist
of:
1. Attention-Getter, 0x01 or 0x5E; see Control Code Command Functions.
2. Command Character
SOH # Reset
This command resets the printer. Resetting the printer returns all settings to default and
clears both the communications and printing buffers. The command also clears DRAM
memory.
Syntax:
<SOH>#
Printer Response: The printer will reset.
<XON> T
(The T may come before the <XON>)
SOH * Reset (Display-Equipped Models only)
This command forces a soft reset of the microprocessor, resetting the printer, returning
all factory default values, and clearing the communication and print buffers.
Syntax:
<SOH>*
Printer Response: The printer will reset.
<XON> R
(The R may come before the <XON>)
