6.3.28 Reset Command [ESC] WR
Function Returns the printer to its initial state.
Format [ESC] WR [LF] [NUL]
Explanation The printer is returned to the same state as when the power is turned on. When the
printer receives this command during printing, it returns to its initial state after issuing the
label which is being printed. The next command must not be sent while the printer is
performing initial processing (approximately 0.5 seconds) after this command is
transmitted.
Notes (1) The Reset Command is effective in serial interface (RS-232C) only. In parallel
interface (Centronics), the reset request signal (nInit) should be used.
(2) When the printer receives a command in the system mode, only the Reset
Command can be processed and any other command cannot be processed.
(3) If a command error or communication error occurs when receiving the Reset
Command, the error message is displayed in the online mode. However, it is not
displayed in the system mode.
(4) After the code of the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD) or Graphic
Command ([ESC] SG) is received, the Reset Command is not processed until the
printer receives the data specified for the type of data.
