c)If the printer receives a <DC1> n code (n is the DIP switch controlled address) during the addressable mode (with DIP switches 4-1 to 4-4 set other than settings a) and b) above,), the deselect mode is canceled and data following this code is input to the buffer.

Note that addressable mode is valid only when op- tional RS-422A interface is installed.

(2)When using parallel interface printer;

When the printer receives a <DC1> code, the deselect mode is canceled and data following this code is input to the buffer.

Select uni-directional print mode

<ESC> “U” “1” or <ESC> “U” <1>

(1B)H (55)H (31)H or (1B)H (55)H (01)H

Prints only when the print head moves from left to right.

Select bi-directional print mode

<ESC> “U” “0” or <ESC> “U” <0>

(1B)H (55)H (30)H or (1B)H (55)H (00)H

Returns to the standard bi-directional print mode. (This mode is set automatically when the printer power is turned on.)

Initialize printer

<ESC> “@” (1B)H (40)H

Initializes all the commands already set. However the follow- ing parameters are not initialized: eternal device drive pulse width setting, operation switch valid/invalid selection, online switch valid/invalid selection. Also, the line and data buffers are not cleared and the DIP switches are not read in again.

For a serial interface printer, the select/deselect state for addressable mode and DC1/DC3 mode is not affected.
