Printer Output There is no printer output as a result of this command. The current
print job in the buffer will be terminated and all other print jobs in the
buffer cleared.
Special Note 1. It is not necessary to clear the printer’s memory between each print
job.
2. The primary purpose of this command is to clear all print jobs in the
multi-buffer mode. The “a” parameter can be used in either the
multi-buffer or single job mode to clear specific parts of the
memory.
3. When the “a” parameter is used, the section of memory specified
will not be cleared until the label is printed.
