Cygwin X server 'reset' command

My xterm version is:

$ xterm -v
Cygwin 6.8.2.0(202)

in console mode TERM is set like the following:
TERM=cygwin

In graphical mode TERM is set like the following:
TERM=xterm

Executing the following DOES clear the screen and the backscroll buffer
in graphical mode (thanks, Mansoorali):

printf "\ec"

But in console mode it only clears the screen, not the backscroll
buffer.
