OFF TOPIC: IBM 1401 question

OFF TOPIC:

On the IBM 1401, I heard that one has to issue two "clear storage"
instructions to totally clear out storage.  The first execution clears
out a portion, the second clears out the rest.  Something to do with
the print area, which is a reserved section of storage?

Any explanation would be appreciated.

Thanks!
