Epson DFX-5000 Printer User Manual


 
Initialization
There are three ways that the printer can be initialized (returned
to a fixed set of conditions) as listed in the table below.
Hardware Initialization
l The printer is turned on.
l The printer receives an INIT signal at the
parallel interface (pin 31 goes LOW).
Software Initialization
l Software sends the ESC @ (initialize the
printer command).
These three kinds of initialization have slightly different effects.
All three methods reset the typestyle according to the default
settings selected by the DIP switches inside the front cover.
However, ESC @ does not initialize the printer mechanism, clear
the input data buffer, or clear the user-defined character set.
