Becomes invalid after the job 
 
[Function] 
Clears print jobs and specific item in memory. 
 
[Format] 
<*>a 
●Parameter 
a     [Item to be cleared]  =    Not specified      :  Single item buffer, Edit buffer (reprint is not possible) 
                                    :  Multi item buffer, Edit buffer (Clears job which is in parsing) 
                          T          :  User defined characters 
                          &          :  Form overlay 
                          X          :  All clear 
(Receive buffer, Edit buffer, User defined characters, form overlay) 
      * The job ,which is currently in progress, will not be cleared   
 
[Coding Example1]  Clear receive and edit buffer 
<A> 
<*> 
<Z> 
 
[Coding Example2]  All clear 
<A> 
<*>X 
<Z> 
 
[Coding Example3] Clear user-defined characters 
<A> 
<*>T 
<Z> 
 
[Notes] 
1. Set this command between Start code<A> and Stop code<Z>. 
2. This command<*>(a=X) will clear all the data sent before the command. However, the data which is completely parsed before the 
command will not be cleared. X will also clear user-defined characters and form overlay.   
 
[Tips] 
1. After the command <*> is executed, have an interval of more than 100ms before sending next print data. 
2. The job in printing will not be terminated by the command <*>.
