This sequence causes the printer to be initialized. This command,
inserted in the input buffer, will be executed during data processing,
so that data preceding this command will be printed according to the
previous setting.
It causes the printer:
• To go back to the current printer setup settings
• To cancel any print attributes selected
• To initialize the printer carriage
• To reset the column counter
• To set the horizontal tabulations every 8 columns
• To clear all vertical tabulations
Only the selection of Draft/Quality printing, DDL and the selected
character generator are maintained.
