Sometimes the software installation will ask you for an initialization sequence to return to the default settings. The command for your printer is <ESC> @.

Make sure that the DIP switches are set for the right printer emulation, and

nient reference.

The commands consist of a capital letter enclosed in double parentheses, followed by a digit:
