Epson 2000 Manuale Utente

There are two ways that the printer can be initialized (returned to
a fixed set of conditions).

Hardware initialization

• The power is turned on.

• The printer receives an INIT signal from

the parallel interface (pin 31 goes LOW).

Software initialization

• Software sends the ESC @ (Initialize the

printer) command.

The table below shows the default conditions that become
