the cold-reset command (remote RS command).  
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed. 
(a) Initializes printer mechanism 
(b) Clears input data buffer 
(c) Clears print buffer 
(d) Sets default values
2. Operator initialization 
Initialization when resetting the USB software, and the following are performed 
(a) Clears input data buffer 
(b) Clears print buffer 
(c) Sets default values
3. Software initialization 
The ESC@ command also initialize the printer. 
When printer is initialized, the following actions are performed. 
(a) Clears print buffer 
(b) Sets default values
4. IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command initialization 
The printer recognized the IEEE 1284.4 “rs” command.  
When printer is initialized, the following action is performed.
 Initialization when an error occurs.
(a) Initializes printer mechanism 
(b) Clears input data buffer 
(c) Clears print buffer 
(d) Sets default values
 Initialization in normal operation
(a) Clears input data buffer 
(b) Clears print buffer 
(c) Sets default values
