3–23Configuring the Printer
Resetting the Printer to Default or Saved Parameters
Printer reset is also called initializing the printer. This procedure clears RAM
and loads either the factory configuration parameters or a set of parameters
you have saved previously.
Factory parameters are permanently stored in ROM. However, if you have
saved a set of configuration parameters, your most recently saved set loads
when you reset the printer.
NOTE: You can reset the printer any time the power is on: While it is
on-line, off-line, even while it is printing. However, to prevent
losing data, reset the printer only when it is off-line and the printer’s
internal input buffer does not contain data.
