nResetting the printer

Up to now when we wanted to reset the printer to the power on condition we have had to either turn the printer off and then on again, or to send the specific codes that reset the particular features.

Those exceptions are that (ESC) “a” will not erase any characters that you have stored in the printer’s RAM memory (Chapter 5 tells you how to create your own characters), and it won’t erase the macro if you have one stored in the printer’s RAM (this chapter will tell you how to create a macro).

When you turn the printer off line from your computer, this printer will ignore anything that you send it, except for the code to go on line again. CHR$(lS) is the code to turn your printer off line; CHR$(17) turns your printer to on line status.

nPrinting the bottom of the sheet

Sometimes when you are using individual sheets of paper you may want to print near the bottom of a sheet. The paper-out detector usually stops the printer when you are about 1 inch from the bottom of the sheet. This is notify you if you are runn- ing out of continuous paper.

Your printer has the ability to print right to the bottom of the sheet. You can disable the paper-out detector so that it doesn’t
