ESC/POS Command

ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system. With ESC/POS commands, you can directly control all the TM printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifications or combination of commands is required compared to using a driver.

To use ESC/POS commands, you need to make a nondisclosure contract first and get the ESC/POS Application Programing Guide. Ask your dealer for details.

The ESC/POS command functions are listed as follows. See the ESC/POS Application Programing Guide for more details.
