Optional interfaces
The available interfaces are listed in Chapter 7. Please refer to
the specifications in the user’s guide packed with the optional
interface card.
Initialization
The printer can be initialized (returned to a fixed set of
conditions) in these ways:
Hardware initialization
∗
The printer is turned on.
∗
The printer receives an
INIT signal from
the parallel interface: pin 31 goes LOW.
Software initialization
∗
Software sends the ESC @ (initialize the
printer) command. The last panel
settings are kept.
Control panel initialization
∗
Hold down the Alt button and press
the Pause button (buffer clear). The
last panel settings are kept.
Each kind of initialization has slightly different effects. All
three methods reset the font according to the default settings
selected using the control panel. However, ESC @ does not
initialize the printer mechanism, clear the input data buffer, or
clear the user-defined character set. The control panel
initialization does not initialize the printer mechanism or clear
the user-defined character set.
