Miscellaneous Functions

Reset Printer to Powerup Settings

You can reset the printer to all its powerup settings by sending the escape sequence:

ESC [ 6 ~

~ = tilde

1B 5B 36 7E

Alternate Escape Sequences

Since some systems will not allow ESC (1B hex) to be sent as the escape function, you can
substitute the following codes:

^ CR

OR

^ CR LF

5E 0D

5E 0D 0A

But they must be placed in Column 1 (the left margin), and Alt ESC must be set to ENABLED
through the control panel (see the Codes Category of the Configuration Menu).

Emulation and Configuration Switching

In addition to being able to change emulations or configurations through the printer control panel,
you can use this escape sequence to change emulations or configurations from your host
computer.

Unlike changing emulations through the control panel, when this escape sequence is used to
change emulations, it does not change the Powerup or Alternate configurations that are currently
loaded on the printer. The only configuration that is affected is the Current Configuration. The
basic switching sequence is:

ESC [ < n h

1B 5B 3C 68

Where:

n = One of the selections from the list below.

10 = Powerup Emulation
13 = Epson Emulation
14 = MT660 Emulation
15 = IBM Proprinter Emulation
16 = Genicom ANSI
18 = HP 2564C Emulation
20 = WinEmul
30 = Config 1
31 = Config 2
32 = Config 3
