Unidirectional Mode

Reset

 

 

ESC @

Deletes all data on the current line and initializes the printer to the default settings for the current form.

Restores the default horizontal tab stops. Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc.

Resets top of form to the current position, so it is wise to be at top of form before performing this reset. Issuing a form feed will guarantee this.

See the appendix on Printer Reset Conditions for more information.
