Initialization

There are three ways that the printer can be initialized (returned to
a fixed set of conditions):
Hardware initialization
Software initialization
Panel initialization
These three kinds of initialization have slightly different effects.
Software and panel initialization do not initialize the printer
mechanism or clear the user-defined character set. Also, software
initialization does not clear the data buffer of all text.
