Reset printer / change emulation mode
EscCR<mode>
This command enables you to switch emulation mode or to reset the printer.
Change emulation mode by setting mode to the appropriate letter or pair of letters. Set mode
to 'D' to switch to Diablo mode, 'H' to switch to Laserjet 4 mode, 'I' to switch to IBM
Proprinter XL mode, 'AB' to switch to BR-Script Batch mode, 'AI' to switch BR-Script
Interactive mode, 'GL' to switch to HP-GL mode.
If you set mode to 'E' in Epson FX-850 mode , a printer reset is performed.
If you set mode to 'P' in Epson FX-850 mode, Diablo 630 mode is selected.
If you set mode to 'FD', to reset the printer to its factory default settings, Laserjet 4 mode (the
factory default emulation mode) is selected and the Laserjet 4 factory default environment is
restored. For a list of the factory default settings see the sub-section "Factory default
environment" in Chapter 2 "PCL" of this manual.
On receiving this command the printer prints any remaining data and performs a page eject
(unless the current page is blank). The newly selected emulation mode's default settings come
into effect, except when mode is set to 'FD'.
