Initialization

The printer can be initialized (returned to a fixed set of conditions) in
these ways:
Hardware initialization
Software initialization
Control panel initialization
All three initialization methods reset the font according to the default
settings selected using the control panel. However, ESC @ does not
initialize the printer mechanism, clear the input data buffer, or clear the
user-defined character set. The control panel initialization does not
initialize the printer mechanism or clear the user-defined character set.
