Epson 3000 Manuel D’Utilisation

Initialization

There are three ways that the printer 

can 

be initialized (returned to

a fixed set of conditions).

Hardware initialization

1. The power is turned on.

2. The printer receives an INIT signal from the

parallel interface (pin 31 goes LOW).

Software initialization

3. Software sends the ESC @ (Initialize the printer)

command.

The table below shows the default conditions that become effective

when the printer is initialized.
