—

will complete
any
line

I'm ready

re-initialize
it
for the new
input.
After Reset the
Printer
will come
back
with
another
ready
message.

If you simply

the
INPUT
SELECT setting.
•
If the
Printer's
built-in
microprocessor
ever
gets "lost" due to a
temporary
loss of.power
or
a severe brownout,
use RESET to get
it on track
again. (Of course, any characters
currently in the
print
buffer will be
lost.)
