Initialization
The printer can be initialized (returned to a fixed set of conditions) in
these ways:
Hardware initialization ∗ The printer is turned on.
∗ The printer receives an INIT signal from
the parallel interface.
Software initialization ∗ Software send s a ESC @ (initialize the
printer) command.

Hardware initialization

When the printer is turned on, the printer mechanism is initialized and the
input data buffer and print buffer are cleared. Printer settings are returned
to their default values. However, the printer mechanism is not initialized
if the printer is turned on within ten seconds after turning it off. In this
case, the printer caps the print head, and ejects any paper in the paper
path.

Software initialization

Clears the print buffer and returns printer settings to their default values.
However, software initialization does not initialize the print er mechanism
or clear the data buffer.
