Auxiliary Commands

Auxiliary commands are provided for physical operation of the scanner. These commands include the reset command and option operation commands.

1. Initialize the scanner (ESC @)

This command returns all scanner settings to their original values (the values when the scanner is first turned on). The carriage returns to the home position. However, the definitions created with the ESC b and ESC z commands are not erased.

2. Set the scanning mode (ESC g)

You can select from two modes with this command: high-speed mode and normal mode. The scanner is always in normal mode unless you change it with this command. If you are scanning at 8 bits/pixel (in monochrome) or 8 bits/color/pixel (in color) you must select normal mode.

In high-speed mode, the scanner moves its sensor faster. This is useful if a high degree of scanning precision is not required, or if you are scanning bi-level data such as characters or line drawings.
