Initialization - Epson Stylus 1520 User Manual

Initialization

The printer can be initialized (returned to a fixed set of conditions) in
these ways:
Hardware initialization
Control panel initialization
Software initialization
Each kind of initialization has slightly different effects. All three methods
reset the font according to the default settings selected using the control
panel. However, the control panel initialization does not initialize the
printer mechanism, ESC @ does not initialize the printer mechanism, clear
the input data buffer, or clear the user-defined character set.
Note:
When the printer initializes, all lights on the control panel come on for a moment
and they return to their previous status.
