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 maybe holding more data in its buffer
than it has actually printed, and this unprinted data must be cleared out before restarting.
Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there is another way:
1. Halt the printing program on the computer. If printing stops immediately, the buffer is
clear and the rest of this procedure is unnecessary. If printing does not stop, continue
as follows:
2. Press and hold the I ON

button.
3. While pressing the I ON
I
button down, press and hold the I
button. Continue holding these two buttons down. In one second you will hear three
beep tones signalingthat the printer has been initializedto the power-on default settings.
4. Release these buttons, make any necessary control panel settings, then set the printer
back on-line.
It is essential to halt the printing program on the computer before you do this panel
operation.
Otherwise, when you go back on-line the computer will start sending data again and the
printer will continue printing, with missing data where the buffer was cleared.
