selected.

Pn (if present) must be 0.

Description

DECSTR is processed synchronously with the rest of the data stream.
The printer sets all the Initial State Values listed in the Programming
Supplement to the "DECSTR" conditions.

The printer does not run self-test, change the current communication
settings, or clear the input buffer.
Side Effects

DECSTR resets Printer Status Report (DSR) events, including
communication failure and input buffer overflow.

The printer performs a conditional Form Feed.

DECSTR affects justification. See Justify (JFY).

See Select Other Coding System (SOCS) when an alternate protocol is

in use.
Error Handling

Any parameters received with DECSTR are ignored.

DECSTR Soft Terminal Reset
Notes to Software

It is recommended that you send this command with no parameter.

Although the DEC PPL3 parsing rules allow a parameter in any
sequence, this sequence is traditionally sent without one. Older
Digital printers may not accept the 0 parameter.
