6 Printer Configuration
6.1 Configuration over Initialisation-TextPreserve "TINIT " (Software Switch)
All commands for initializing the controller are filed in the text file "TINIT ". TINIT is available in the flash memory
of the printer and in the EEPROM (Note: Low-priced controllers with minimal functionality may not have an EE-
PROM). An entry in the EEPROM cancels entries in the Flash. For example, if a printer is to print double height
and inverse in data mode, the relevant commands are entered in the text file "TINIT". After a RESET, the controller
will first carry out its basic initialization, read the solder bridge settings, and then process the commands in the
"TINIT". Therefore, the commands in the "TINIT" have final authority regarding the valid settings. Custom settings
can also be achieved through entries in the text file "TINIT". If an EEPROM is available, "TINIT" can also be alte-
red through an interface.
The basic initialization of the controller corresponds with the following instructions that are initially not entered in
the "TINIT: <ESC> "A"; <ESC> "D" "0"; <ESC> "H" "0"; <ESC> "I" "0";
<ESC> "L" "0"; <ESC> "M" "0"; <ESC> "N" 0 0; <ESC> "P" 1; <ESC> "S"0; <ESC> "W" "0".

Solder Bridges Sleep Mode, Baud Rate, Text/Data Mode, Adapter SELECT
There are four 0-Ohm bridges and two jumpers on the controller board (optional) .
These bridges will each be inquired once during RESET.
