MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual

1 Commands

The MP-4000 TH printer has a series of programming commands that may be used in the remote mode. Two types of commands can be sent:

1.1 Direct command

In this mode, a simple ASCII code is enough to command the printer. For example:

ASCII CODE : LF DECIMAL : 10 HEXADECIMAL : 0A

This command causes the printer to perform a line feed.

1.2 Control sequence

In this mode, more than one code may be sent to command or program the printer. This “control sequence” always starts with the ASCII code “ESC”, “FS” or “GS”. For example:

ASCII CODE : ESC W 1 DECIMAL : 27 87 01 HEXADECIMAL : 1B 57 01

This command switches the printing mode to “expanded”. Following is a summary of all commands accepted by the MP-4000 TH printer.

22-aug-2007 Firmware Release: 1.5

MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual

2 Using the command summary

The following section lists and describes all resident commands including command parameters. The command syntax is as follows:

•ESC P is a command without parameters;

•ESC Q n is a command with one parameter only;

•ESC K n1 n2 is a command with two parameters;

•ESC D n1...nk is a command with a variable number of parameters.

A character ‘h’ following an alphanumeric string represents an hexadecimal number. A number with no ‘h’ following it is in decimal mode. An italic item is a parameter to the escape function.

Note: MP-4000 TH printer is capable of interpreting ESC/Bema commands and

ESC/POS commands.

3. ESC/Bema Commands

3.1 Operation Commands

The following section details each of the commands presented in the Command Table, ESC/Bema section.

GS F9h 5 00h

[Function] Select ESC/Bema operation mode.

[Format] ASCII GS F9h 5 00h Hexadecimal 1D F9 35 00 Decimal 29 249 53 0

[Description] Tells printer to interpret ESC/Bema commands from now.

[Notes] ● This command saves data on printer flash memory and therefore is

slow, which may affect printer performance and funcionality if mixed with

other faster commands. Please, use with caution.

● When ESC/Bema mode is enabled and a DB25 serial interface is connected, the printer will automatically change its flow control to RTS/CTS.

GS F9h 20h 30h

[Function] Select ESC/Bema temporary operation mode.

[Format] ASCII GS F9h 20h 30h Hexadecimal 1D F9 20 30 Decimal 29 249 32 48

[Description] Tells printer to interpret ESC/Bema commands from now.

[Notes] ● This command doesn’t writes anything on flash memory, so it can be

used anyway.

● When ESC/Bema mode is enabled and a DB25 serial interface is connected, the printer will automatically change its flow control to RTS/CTS.

22-aug-2007 Firmware Release: 1.5

MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual

GS F9h 1Fh 31h

[Function] Return to previous set of commands configured before temporary setting.

[Format] ASCII GS F9h 1Fh 31h Hexadecimal 1D F9 1F 31 Decimal 29 249 31 49

[Description] Tells printer to interpret the command set that was configured before an

temporary set has been done.

ESC @

[Function] Initializes the MP-4000 TH printer.

[Format] ASCII ESC @ Hexadecimal 1B 40 Decimal 27 64

[Description] All settings, including character font, line spacing, left margin, right

margin, intensity and inverted mode are canceled.

ESC b n

[Function] Select sensor to signalize.

[Format] ASCII ESC b n Hexadecimal 1B 62 n Decimal 27 98

[Range] n = 0, 1, 48, 49 [Default] n = 0

[Description] When n = 1 (or n = 49), PE signal reflects drawer sensor. When n = 0 (or

n = 48), PE signal reflects paper sensor.

[Notes] PE is a signal from the parallel interface.

ESC v n

[Function] Activate drawer.

[Format] ASCII ESC v n Hexadecimal 1B 76 n Decimal 27 118 n

[Description] Activate drawer pin for n milliseconds (-50ms < n < 200ms).

22-aug-2007 Firmware Release: 1.5

MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual

ESC w

[Function] Performs a full paper cut.

[Format] ASCII ESC w Hexadecimal 1B 77 Decimal 27 119

[Description] This command operates the auto cutter, performing a full cut in the

paper.

[Notes] When presenter is activated there is a minimum receipt size (roughly 3.3

inches) to avoid paper jam inside the presenter. If the receipt size is less than the minimum, the full cut command will automatically add line feeds to perform the cut.

ESC m
