Sometimes the software installation will ask you for an initialization
sequence to return to the default settings. The command for your printer is
<ESC> @.
Make sure that the DIP switches are set for the right printer emulation, and
that you have selected the appropriate character set using the DIP switches.
If you are in doubt about the configration of your application software, seek
expert advice. Your software supplier will probably be your most conve-
nient reference.
EMBEDDING PRINTER COMMANDS
Many word-processors and other software lack commands for changing font
style, or printing double-size characters, and some do not even support bold
printing or italics. Your printer therefore has commands that can be embed-
ded in documents to control these functions without software help. The
commands consist of a capital letter enclosed in double parentheses,
followed by a digit:
