Purpose Sets the printer's initial condition.
Discussion This command causes the printer to reset and defines the
configuration that will be loaded to the printer during the reset.
Several variables must be specified to define the load
configuration, as described below.
NOTE: AnESC[K code can occu rat a ny place in the datastream and is acted
uponimm ediately. All numerical parameters are in the hex 00 through
FF range unless stated otherwise. Only specified parameters are
supported. Other values may be ignored or cause unpredictable
results, and should be avoided.
n1
The value of
n1
defines which of the following
n
bytes will be included in the
command line, as shown in Table 27.
NOTE: Specifyingany value for
n1
other than 1, 3, or 4 may cause
unpredictable results, and should be avoided.
n2
The 2-digit hexadecimal value for
n2
defines the load configuration for the
printer. The Proprinter III XL supports six values for this parame ter: 00, 01, 04,
05, 254, and 255 (hex 00, 01, 04, 05, FE, and FF). Any other value will be
ignored.
If any of the six supported values is entered for the
n2
parameter, then the
printer will reset to the factory default configuration. Configuration parameters

n5

factory default values.
n3
Parameter
n3
is provided for compatibility with the Proprinter III XL printer
control language standard. You may define any value for this parameter. (For
Proprinters, this bit must define the attached printer as either Proprinter, value
03, or Proprinter III XL, value 22 [hex 16].)
