Programmable Reset

The programmable reset escape sequence (ESCE) causes the printer to eject

paper to the top-of-form (position 0,0) if not already at top-of-form. This

command resets all current printer configuration values to the following

states. The printer remains on-line after a programmable reset. When the

printer is reset, it is set to a known state as follows:

• Primary and secondary character sets (fonts) as configured from the

control panel.

Form).

length.
