Universal Clear
Function Resets the printer to its initial power on state,
effectively the same as cycling printer power.
Explicit Form
(ASCII)
23 23 23 23 23 67 76 69 65 82 23 23 23 23 23
Parameters None
Comments Unlike other commands, you cannot send the
Universal Clear
command to the printer as a
printable ASCII string of letters and/or numbers.
Most computer keyboards do not have a character
corresponding to ASCII 23.
Although you cannot type the command directly,
the host computer can send the command if it is
programmed in a high-level language. For example,
you could send Universal Clear to the printer
using the following BASIC code:
LPRINT CHR$(23); CHR$(23);CHR$(23);
CHR$(23); CHR$(23); "CLEAR"; CHR$(23);
CHR$(23); CHR$(23); CHR$(23); CHR$(23);
CHR$(13); CHR$(10)
Universal Clear
only clears unprocessed data
from memory and does not affect a label format
that is currently being printed in printers prior to
the C Series and DLX printers.
C Series and DLX printers will lose any label
currently being printed.
This command should never be sent except to
recover the printer from a lockup.
