The initial value for this printer Device ID is as shown below. In the following
description, in order to make it easier to read, carriage returns have been
added, but actually, the character string is continuous without carriage return
codes being included. The CMD items are not in the same order. MODE and
STATUS items are not included. In the contents of DES items, MFG and MDL
are connected by a space.
MFG:EPSON;
CMD:PJL,EJL,ESCPL2,ESCP9,PRPXL24-01,PCL,HPGL2-01,ESCPAGE-

Furthermore, it is possible to redefine the MFG, MDL, DES and CID in the
Device ID. Also, the CID Field does not respond with the default value, but
does respond with the defined character string if it has been redefined. The
Device ID when redefined is as follows. Places with ***** are the user defined
character strings.
