5.14 COMMANDS RELATED TO CONTROL
5.14.1 RESET COMMAND
[ESC] WR
Function
Returns the printer to its initial state.
Format
[ESC] WR [LF] [NUL]
Explanation
(1)
The printer is returned to the same state as when the power is turned on.
(2)
When the printer receives this command during printing, it is initialized after issuing the
label which is being printed.
(3) After the Initialize Command is sent (or after printing is completed, if printing is
performed), the next command must not be sent within approximately 30 seconds on the
wireless LAN model or within approximately 5 seconds on other models, because the
printer is initialized. In IrDA: TEC Protocol, if ACK/status transmission is specified by the
Issue Command, the printer returns an ACK, which indicates the command process end,
to the EOT after the printer is initialized. In RS-232C, when the status response is
specified, the printer returns the status (34H 30H). After this status is received, the next
command may be sent. In IrDA: IrCOMM, IrDA: IrOBEX, USB, Bluetooth or Wireless
LAN, the printer does not return the status.
(4)
When this command is sent through the IrDA interface, only this command should be
sent. After the command is sent, the link should be terminated. Even if the host does
not terminate the link, the printer performs the termination process. Therefore, after
initialization is completed, the host should establish the link again.
(5)
When receiving this command during data transmission, the printer is initialized after
completing the transmission.
Notes
(1)
If a command error or communication error occurs when receiving the Reset Command,
an error message is displayed in the online mode. However, it is not displayed in the
SYSTEM mode.
(2)
After the code of the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD) or the Graphic
Command ([ESC] SG) is received, the Reset Command is not processed until the printer
receives the data specifying the type of data.
