[Function]  1) If the system is in packet mode, this command must be sent before any other commands can 
be successfully transferred over either USB or Parallel Port, including the basic ESC @ 
printer initialization command. 
  2)  Packet communication protocol (EPSON packet mode) is cancelled.     
    The command  for entering packet mode and the commands utilized in packet  mode are 
EPSON proprietary.     
   
[Initial State]  The initial state of the printer, unused and unopened, new from the EPSON box, may or may 
not be in packet mode.    However,  once the printer has received  any print job from any 
other source (especially a Windows OS printer driver) it will most likely be in packet mode. 
  If  the  printer  is  in  EPSON  packet  mode;  no  typical  USB  and  possibly  Parallel  Port 
transmissions can be received or recognized.
