Initialization
There are three ways
that
the printer can be initialized (returned to
a fixed set of conditions).
Hardware initialization
1. The power is turned on.
2. The printer receives an INIT signal at the parallel
interface (pin 31 goes LOW).
Software initialization
3. Software sends the ESC @ (Initialize the printer)
command.
These three kinds of initialization have slightly different effects. In
particular, ESC @ resets
the
font to the current SelecType setting;
the
other two methods reset the typestyle according to the default
settings selected by the DIP switches within the font compartment.
Also, ESC @ does not initialize the printer mechanism, clear the
input data buffer, or clear
the
user-defined character set.
