SHS instructs the printer to return to the home state. If the printer is in the
process of printing (in page state), the current page ends and prints the data
up to the time of the SHS command. Depending when the SHS command
was sent, either a complete or partially completed page prints.

If the printer is processing a page segment, an overlay, or a font, the printer
deletes the block of data and returns to the home state.

If you send an SHS command while the printer is in the home state, the printer
treats it as an NOP command.
