Other Resets
Power On Reset -- and similar resets
When the printer is turned on, the following events occur:
•Fixed default settings are set to factory set values.
•Portions of printer memory that store page, font, and macro information are cleared.
Other resets which cause similar events:
•NPA Cold Start (Front Panel, 01 or 03).
•INA Hard Reset
For these resets, currently active pages are discarded and emulators are reset.
INIT * -- Parallel Interface Initialization
The INIT * signal causes the printer to be initialized as follows (unless the INIT * signal is disabled by its variable default setting):
•Data received before reception of an INIT * signal is printed, and then initialization takes place.
•Variable default settings are returned to values stored in
NVRAM.
•Fixed default settings are reset to factory set values.
•Downloaded fonts and macros with permanent status are retained.
•Downloaded fonts and macros with temporary status are deleted.
•Variable default settings for paper sizes become the active default formatting sizes.
•The link buffer is left intact.
INIT * is not honored while Hex Trace is active. Receiving INIT * causes the parallel interface to go busy. The INIT * is processed when the parallel interface becomes active and all preceding characters have been processed.
