FRPO: Firmware RePrOgram
Kyocera printers support a large set of permanent defaults which can be set using the FRPO command. The PRESCRIBE
emulation option supports a subset of the more significant settings. The FRPO INIT command is supported and only
affects the settings in the following table, with the exception of the L parameters. These FRPO settings cannot be set
differently per input port.
