Basic Functions
Reset printer ...................... ESC @ 1B 40 27 64 This sequence sets the top-of-form at the current print line
and resets print modes, page setup parameters, tabs and
special modes to the Setup menu defaults. The sequence
does not affect the current emulation or communications
parameters.
Restore printer settings..... ESC ESC r n 1B 1B 72 n 27 27 114 n This sequence restores the printer settings to the factory

User 3 setup ................... ESC ESC r 3 1B 1B 72 33 27 27 114 51 recall later. Each setup is assigned a unique user number
User 4 setup ................... ESC ESC r 4 1B 1B 72 34 27 27 114 52 from 1 to 5.
User 5 setup ................... ESC ESC r 5 1B 1B 72 35 27 27 114 53
Note: Since communications settings are saved as part of
the user setup, be careful not to restore a user setup that
changes the active interface, unless you specifically want
to do so.
