Closes the feed roller and platen (forms compensation arm
assembly) and retracts the forms arm stop unconditionally.

This command is processed regardless of which station is
selected.

Clears the print line buffer without printing and sets the
printer to the following condition:
• Receipt station is selected
• Double-wide command (0x12) is canceled
• Line spacing, pitch, and user-defined character sets are
maintained at current selections (RAM is not affected)
• Single-wide, single-high, non-rotated, and left-aligned
characters are set

In printers with the parallel interface, this command also
returns paper exhaust to the paper status line if an alternate
status has been requested. A DLE command followed by
a 04 or 05 is interpreted as a “Real-time command.” (See
pages 97 and 98.)
