Extended Diagnostic Commands

Function	Extended diagnostics
ASCII	[ESC] ~ <n>
Hexadecimal	1BH 7EH
Decimal	<27> <126>
IPCL	none
EPOS	[ESC] ~ <n>
Where n =	0	Prints model, configuration, and serial number
	1 <n>	Sets vertical alignment (<n> is the alignment value.)
	Note: <n> will be written to the EEPROM if the EEPROM save sequence is
	processed.
	2	Decreases vertical alignment adjustment
	3	Increases vertical alignment adjustment
	4	Prints a vertical adjustment alignment chart
	[ACK]	Returns a configuration synchronization code
	C <a> <d>	Changes EEPROM data at <a> to <d> (pass code locked)
	D	Returns menu to default (pass code locked)
	I	Returns ROM ID
	P	Forces IEEE 1284 mode (This does not alter menu RAM.)
	R	Reads and returns the menu RAM
	S	Forces serial mode (This does not alter menu RAM.)
	T	Clears the totals (pass code locked)
	W	Writes menu RAM back to EEPROM (pass code locked)
	Z	Halts the software
	[CAN]	Forces the printer to power cycle
Description	These commands are designed to be used by the factory to help adjust and test
	the printer. There is no guarantee that these commands are valid and/or stable.
	They are not intended for use by the end user. To prevent accidental use of
	these commands, they must be enabled by an [ESC] y <8> command. In some
	cases, a pass code sequence is also required.
Write EEPROM	This command allows specific Menu RAM locations to be written. The
	definition of the locations is not defined here. This command is intended for
	use by the factory and is only active if a pass code is sent to the printer.
