ASCII DLE

Hexadecimal 10

Decimal 16

Clears the print line buffer without printing and sets the

printer to the following condition:

• 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

• Printer is restarted and error status is cleared in a fault

condition

Exceptions

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

real time command.)
