    explanation returns the printer to the same state as when the power was turned on. when the printer receives this command during printing, it returns to its initial state after issuing the label being printed. the next data must not be sent for a minimum of 3 seconds after this command is transmitted.

    (1) the reset command is effective in serial interface (rs-232c) only. in parallel interface (centronics), the reset request signal (input·prime) should be used.

    (2) when the printer receives a command in system mode, only the reset command can be used and any other command cannot be used.

    (3) if a command error or communication error occurs when receiving the reset command, the error message is displayed in the online mode. however, it is not displayed in system mode.

    (4) after the code of the writable character command ([esc] xd) or graphic command ([esc] sg) is received, the reset command is not processed until the printer receives the type of data.
