powering the printer off. The printer may be reset to use the default software settings
by depressing the FEED and START/STOP keys simultaneously while powering the
printer on. This will result in the following default configuration:

will be displayed on the LCD panel or a single “beep” will be heard if the printer does
not have an LCD panel. The printer should be powered off while this message is being
displayed (or after the “beep” is heard. This saves the default settings in the EEPROM
where they will be automatically loaded the next time the printer is powered on.
