CLEAR PRINT JOBS & MEMORY
FUNCTION
To clear individual memory or buffer areas of the printer.
FORMAT
<ESC>*a (Format 1)
<ESC>*a,bbb (Format 2)
This command should be sent to the printer as an independent data stream.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>*
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
This command does not result in printer output. The current print job in the buffer will be terminated and
all other print jobs in the buffer cleared.
NOTES Is only valid for Font Download Mode.
It is not necessary to clear the printer's memory between each print job.
The "a" parameter can be used in either the multi-buffer or single job mode to clear specific parts of the
memory. When the "a" parameter is used, the section of memory specified will not be cleared until the
label is printed.
Approximately 3 seconds is required to register format with this command. During this period, other
commands will not be accepted.
