Clearing the buffer/All reset
The printer stores received data in a large memory buffer. This creates a
problem when you want to abandon a printingjob and restart: the printer may
beholding moredatainitsbufferthan ithasactuallyprinted,andthisunprinted
data must be cleared out before restarting. Turning power off is one way to
clear the buffer, but there is another way:
1, Halttheprinting program onthecomputer. Imprintingstopsimmediately,
the buffer is clear and the rest of thisprocedure isunnecessary, If printing
does not stop, continue as follows:
2. Press the I ON LINE 1button to set the printer off-line. Printing will
now stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer.
3. Press and hold the 1 ON LINE I button.
4. Whilepressingthe I ON LINE Ibuttondown,pressandholdthe -
button. Continue holding these two buttons down, you will hear a beep
tone and the “bC>’message appears on the LCD display. If you hold these
buttons down longer, you will hear three beep tones and the printer has
been initialized to the power-on default settings.
5. Release these buttons, make any necessary control panel settings, then
set the printer back on-line.
It is essential to stop the printing program on the computer before you go offline.
Otherwise, when you go back on-line the computer will start sending
data again and the printer will continue printing, with missing data from
when,the buffer was cleared.
