The Print Environment

7.0The Print Environment

The group of all the printer's current feature settings is collectively referred to as the print envi- ronment. Default settings refer to the settings the printer uses unless printer commands are used to select other settings. Default settings are settings that are programmed into the printer at the factory.

Each time a job is printed, some of the printer's feature settings may be changed from their default values to produce a desired output for that job. After the job has printed, the job spe- cific feature settings are no longer needed, since the next job will likely have different output requirements. The next job should clear all previous job settings by performing a reset. This allows a job to start with the default settings as a base and vary only those settings that are needed. Returning to the default environment at the beginning of each print job eliminates the need for setting every feature each time a job is run.

!	Starting your print job with the Reset command (Esc E) is the recommended procedure,
	since the escape sequence resets all programmable features to their default values.
