Hexadecimal: 15 02 n (bRequest = 0x15, wValue = 0x02 n)
Decimal: 21 02 n
Values of n: 01 = Recover and clear buffers
02 = Reboot
The printer responds to a request from the host specified by n. The operations performed depend on the
value of n,according to the following parameters.
n = 1:
Recover from an error state after clearing the Receive buffer and Print buffers.
This sequence is ignored except when the printer is busy due to an error condition.
n = 2:
Make H/W reset by watchdog timer. Printer initializes itself same as power-on initialization.

Exception:
This command affects the response formant of GS 0x30 xx commands.
2.2.5 Perform Knife Cut
ASCII: ESC i
Hexadecimal: 1B 69
Decimal: 27 105
Cut the paper. After cutting the paper, the left paper in the printer is returned to the standby position
automatically before next printing job is started, if no data is sent following this cut command.
This command is ignored when the length of the cut paper is less than 70mm.
If the printer receives this command when the processed document length is less than 70mm, it is ignored.
If this command is sent without the cutter option, paper will be fed to the manual cut position. After that
paper will be returned to the standby position when Print command is sent even if that paper was not cut
manually.
7 DB-EA4D Command manual (rev.00)

2.2.6 Print
ASCII: ESC FF
Hexadecimal: 1B 0C
Decimal: 27 12
The processed data is printed and the printed paper is transported to the cut position.After processing this
command, the paper is returned to the standby position of next page by a following command except paper
cut command. In the case of the paper cut command, the paper is cut immediately and then the paper is
returned to the standby position.
This command is ignored in the duplex print mode. In the duplex print mode, Start Double Sided Printing
command (1F 64) is effective instead of FF command.
2.2.7 Initialize Printer
ASCII: ESC @
Hexadecimal: 1B 40
Decimal: 27 64
Clear the print line buffer and reset attributes. If the printer receives this command after the printer receives
any print data, the printer prints the received print data, and executes form feed and cut, and then clear the
print line buffer and resets attributes.
If the printer is in 2ST mode by the command of US b (1Fh 62h) and US c (1Fh 63h), printing mode returns
the default mode of the configuration.

*1When the value of n3 (Document length High byte) is 0x03, n2 (Low byte) should be set more
than 0x3A, and also should be set less or equal 0xB3 when n3 is 0x0D.
*2 Default cut position of BM is as follows.
Paper feed direction
6.25 mm (Default offset value = 0x05)
0.5”
Default Cut Position
The origin (offset value = 0x00) of cut position is the edge of a black mark on the side of the paper feed
