Chapter 2 Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes
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.
• Vertical line spacing (6/8 LPI) as configured from the control panel.
• Paper moves to the next Top of Form position (if not currently at Top of
Form).
• Data buffer is printed and then the buffer is cleared.
• Standard VFC channel assignments selected as defined by physical page
length.
• Margins set at maximum limits and/or Left margin set at first column (0).
• Physical page length remains as configured from the control panel.
• Logical page length = physical page length
• Text length = logical page length minus one inch
• All character font attributes (symbol set, pitch, style, and density) default
to the character font configured from the control panel.
• Display functions off and Underline enhance disabled.
• Perforation skip mode as configured from the control panel.
• Enable/Disable Label Card as configured from control panel.
• Printronix linefeed emulation as configured from control panel.
