(STC 740 or newer), this command should be sent after
all data has been sent. If this command is not sent,
and the printer is connected to a Windows system, the
last page of the job will not print completely. The
most likely explanation for for this is that the Windows
driver typically puts the printer in 1284.4 packet mode,
and this command has the effect of flushing the buffer
in the printer.
