Remote Printer Reset
It is possible to generate a software printer reset in serial mode. The [ENQ] <10>
command requests that the printer reset. (This is not a hardware reset). The reset
completely initializes the hardware and software, but the printer does not recover from a
loss of software control.
Note:
If the printer mode was changed by the [ESC] y <2> or <3>
command, a soft reset will not return to the power on default.
The command flow is as follows:
The [ENQ] <10> is acknowledged. During cleanup and initialization, the printer is
placed off-line. Before the printer initializes, it tries to clean up its input buffer
and other internal processes.
The printer’s software is reinitialized.
The power-cycled flag is set.
The print head is homed and re-calibrated.
The printer goes back on-line.
