Special Notes
1. See Memory Card Functions for variations of this command used to clear
data from the memory Card (Page 4-82).
2. It is not necessary to clear the printer's memory between each print job.
3. The primary purpose of this command is to clear all print jobs in the multi-
buffer mode. The "a" parameter can be used in either the multi-buffer or
single job mode to clear specific parts of the memory.
4. When the "a" parameter is used, the section of memory specified will not
be cleared until the label is printed.
