completion. Some operating systems, such as NetWare, provide the ability to insert a reset sequence at the end of each job, in which case the TROY XCD print server null reset is adequate. Also, Microsoft Windows printer drivers typically provide a printer reset at the end of each job. But for those operating systems that do not provide this reset capability, TROY XCD print servers provide the ability to customize the printer reset to meet the requirements of virtually any type of printer.
The following predefined reset strings are available.
No. | Definition | Printer |
1 | Null | (use if no reset is desired) |
2 | <ESC>E | PCL printer |

Refer to your printer documentation if you do not know the proper reset string. Use the null string if you are planning to reset the printer from the host software (for example, from a Windows driver). If you want to define a new reset string, refer to Appendix B, Using Services.
Note that you can put a printer reset either before or after each job, although generally the reset goes at the end the job. TROY XCD print servers allow you to define multiple services for a given port. This is useful, for example, if you want to use different reset strings with the same printer. For example, you might want to define a service for UNIX jobs that contains a
Print jobs are normally sent to service 1 (XCD_xxxxxx_P1, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of Ethernet address, for
