Initialization
There are two ways that the printer can be initialized (returned to the
default settings) through the hardware and one way through the
software. These are described in the following table:
Hardware initialization
l The power is turned on.
l The printer receives an INIT signal at the
parallel interface (pin 31 goes LOW).
Software initialization
l The software sends the ESC @ (initialize
the minter) command.
Default Settings
The table below shows the default conditions that become valid when
