Immediate Command Functions
Introduction
When the printer receives an Immediate Command, its current operation will be momentarily interrupted
to respond to the command. Immediate Commands may be issued before or after System-Level
commands; however, they may not be issued among Label Formatting Commands or during font or
image downloading. Immediate Commands consist of:
1. Attention-Getter, 0x01 or 0x5E, see Control Codes.
2. Command Character
SOH #
Reset
This command resets the printer. Resetting the printer returns all settings to default and clears both
the communications and printing buffers. The command also clears DRAM memory.
Syntax:

Printer Response: The printer will reset.
<XON> T
(The T may come before the <XON>)
SOH *

default values, and clearing the communication and print buffers.
