Switches from Page Mode to Standard Mode. In switching from Page Mode to Standard
Mode, data buffered in Page Mode is cleared, the printing area set by Set Print Area in
Page Mode (1B 57) is initialized and the print position is set to the beginning of the line.
This command switches the settings for the following commands (the values for these
commands can be set independently in Standard Mode and Page Mode) to those for
Standard Mode:
1. Set Right-Side Character Spacing (1B 20)
2. Select 1/6 Inch Line Spacing (1B 32)
3. Set Line Spacing (1B 33)
Standard Mode is automatically selected when power is turned on, the printer is reset, or
the Initialize Printer command (1B 40) is used.
Example:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1B) & Chr$(&H53)
Exceptions:
This command is effective only in Page Mode.
