Many software packages send the reset command to initialise the printer before or after
printing. This is done to make sure that settings from a previous print job do not
accidentally carry over into the next one. However, this could interfere with settings
you have made on the control panel or through control codes.
If your software lets you add or modify initialisation strings (also called setup strings),
you can eliminate reset commands you do not want, or add them where you want to
be sure the printer is set to its defaults (the menu settings). Check your software manual
for details on modifying initialisation strings.
