Clearing the Buffer and Reinitializing the Printer

Pressing and holding down for five or more seconds clears the print buffer and tells the printer to initialize itself. You might use this function if you cancel a print job in the middle and want to clear the printer and start over. In this case, permanently downloaded fonts are removed by the initialization process. You must download the fonts again.
