Introduction

ESC/POS™

The market for store automation equipment is changing rapidly with the widespread introduction of POS (point of sale) terminals. These terminals are now appearing even in small retail stores and specialty shops. They occupy a secure position in the range of applications available for personal computers.

As more personal computers come to be used as POS terminals, the demand for matching standardized peripheral devices is expected to rise. At present, however, many of the competing POS terminal printer displays on the market employ mutually incompatible command sets. This imposes limits on the expandability and range of applications possible with PC-based systems. There is a need for a new command set designed to provide the expandability and universal applicability demanded by the market.

To meet this need, Seiko Epson Corporation proposes the adoption of a newly developed command set to standardize POS terminal peripheral devices: ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sale).

The aim when developing ESC/POS was to create a set of control codes that could be used to operate any output device connected to a POS terminal. These new codes are intended to replace the mutually incompatible command sets previously in use.

TM/DM series models already support ESC/POS, and they have been evaluated highly in the marketplace.

Seiko Epson Corporation plans to produce new models in the TM/DM series offering ESC/POS support and to continue to work for the standardization of the entire POS environment to promote the dissemination of ESC/POS.

Using Bit Value Tables

For each command that has a complex method of determining the variable n, there is a table showing how to calculate the variable in three numbering systems: binary, hexadecimal, and decimal.

When you look at the table, first find the value of each component of the variable. Then add the values of the components together to determine the value of the variable n.

For example, here is how you would use the table below, which sets the print mode, to combine double height, double width, and underline. In the table, you see that bit 4 on (or hex 10 or decimal

16) turns on double height, bit 5 on (or hex 20 or decimal 32) turns on double width, and bit 7 on (or hex 80 or decimal 128) turns on underline mode.

To combine all three, turn on bits 4, 5, and 7, which is 10110000 in binary. Or you can add the hex values 10, 20, and 80 for the hex sum of B0, or you can add the decimal values 16, 32, and 128 for the decimal value of 176.

Therefore, you send the following to turn on double height, double width, and underline, depending on the numbering system used:

ASCII ESC ! n Hex 1B 21 B0 Decimal 28 33 176

Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function

Off 00 0 Character font-A selected.

On 01 1 Character font-B selected.

2 — — — Undefined.

Off 00 0 Emphasized mode not selected.

On 08 8 Emphasized mode selected.

Off 00 0 Double-height mode not selected.

On 10 16 Double-height mode selected.

Off 00 0 Double-width mode not selected.

On 20 32 Double-width mode selected.

6 — — — Undefined.

Off 00 0 Underline mode not selected.

On 80 128 Underline mode selected.

Note that the program examples throughout this chapter use decimal numbers, but binary, decimal, and hexadecimal numbers all have the same printing results.

[xk d1 ... d(y × xk)] defines user-defined characters from character code c1 to c2. y and x are the configuration of a user-defined character. y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction. x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction. Character code range from ASCII code 20H (32) to 7EH (126) can be defined by c1 and c2. Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. At the default, user-defined characters are not defined and the internal character set is printed. Once the user-defined characters have been defined, they are available until ESC @, ESC ?, or GS

✻ is executed; the user-defined characters are redefined; the

power is turned off; or the printer is reset. The downloaded bit image is canceled.

Paper Sensor Commands

The TM-L60II/L60IIP printers support the following commands for controlling the paper sensor(s) that stop printing and output paper-end signals:

Command Name

ESC c 4 Select paper sensor(s) to stop printing ESC c 3 Select paper sensor(s) to output paper-end signals

ESC c 4 n

[Name] Select paper sensor(s) to stop printing [Format] ASCII ESC c 4 n

Hex 1B 63 34 n Decimal 27 99 52 n

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255

ESC c 4 n selects the paper sensor that stops printing when the paper runs out. The default setting is when all paper sensors are disabled (n=0). Bits 0 and 1 indicate the same sensor. If one of the bits is enabled, the paper roll near-end sensor is selected to stop printing. The paper roll sensor is always enabled, and when a paper-end is detected, the printer stops printing.

When the paper roll near-end sensor is enabled, and if the sensor detects a near-end condition during printing, the printer stops printing and goes off-line automatically after the current printing. Replacing a new paper roll starts the printing again.

When the paper roll near-end sensor is disabled, and if a paper near-end condition is detected during printing, the PAPER OUT LED comes on, but the printer does not stop printing and does not go offline.

The paper sensor(s) used to stop printing are selected by using n as follows:

Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function

Off 00 0 Paper roll near-end sensor disabled.

On 01 1 Paper roll near-end sensor enabled.

Off 00 0 Paper roll near-end sensor disabled.

ESC c 3 n selects the paper sensor that outputs a paper-end signal to the parallel interface when a paper-end is detected. The default setting is when all sensors are enabled (n= 15).

It is possible to select multiple sensors to output signals. Then, if any of the sensors detects a paper end, the paper end signal is output. This command is available only with a parallel interface and is ignored with a serial interface.

The paper sensor(s) used to output paper-end signals are selected by using n as follows:

The parameters for the horizontal or vertical motion units (x or y) differ depending on the starting position of the printing area as follows:

If the starting position is the upper left or lower right of the printing area (n=0, 2, 48, or 50):

❏ These commands use horizontal motion units: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \ ❏ These commands use vertical motion units: ESC 3, ESC J, GS $, GS \

If the starting position is the upper right or lower left of the printing area (n=1, 3, 49, or 51):

❏ These commands use horizontal motion units: ESC 3, ESC J, GS $, GS \ ❏ These commands use vertical motion units: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \

TM–L60II/L60IIP Information Manual

Status Commands

The TM-L60II/L60IP printers support the following status transmission commands. These commands can be used to determine the status of the printer, paper sensors, and peripheral devices connected to the printer.

Command Name

GS a Enable/disable Automatic Status Back (ASB) GS r Transmit status DLE EOT Real-time status transmission ESC u Transmit peripheral device status ESC v Transmit paper sensor status

GS a n

[Name] Enable/disable Automatic Status Back (ASB) [Format] ASCII GS a n

Hex 1D 61 n Decimal 29 97 n

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255

GS a n selects a status for ASB transmission. ASB is enabled if any status item is selected. The printer automatically transmits a 4-byte status message whenever the status changes. Multiple status items can be selected. When n=0, ASB is disabled. The default (n=0 or n=2) depends on the DIP switch settings. If ASB is enabled when the printer is disabled by the ESC = command, the printer transmits a 4-byte status message whenever the status changes. The status items are selected using n as follows:

Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status for ASB

Off 00 0 Drawer kick-out connector pin 3 status disabled.

On 01 1 Drawer kick-out connector pin 3 status enabled.

Off 00 0 On-line/off-line status disabled.

In GS k m d1...dk NUL, d indicates the character code to be printed and k indicates the number of characters to be printed. In GS k m n d1...dn, n indicates the number of bar code data; the printer processes n bytes from the next character data as bar code data. d indicates the character code to be printed. If n is outside of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

Rev. A Command Descriptions 1-51

The following apply to GS k m d1...dk NUL and GS k m n d1...dn in standard mode: ❏ If d is outside of the specified range, the printer only feeds paper and processes the following

data as normal data.

❏ If the horizontal size exceeds the printing area, the printer only feeds the paper. ❏ These commands feed as much paper as is required to print the bar code, regardless of the line

spacing specified by other commands.

❏ These commands are enabled only when no data exists in the print buffer. When data exists in

the print buffer, the printer processes the data following m as normal data.

❏ After printing a bar code, these commands set the print position to the beginning of the line. ❏ These commands are not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike, underline, or

character size etc.), except for upside-down mode.

The following apply to GS k m d1...dk NUL and GS k m n d1...dn in page mode: ❏ These commands develop bar code data in the print buffer, but do not print it. After processing

bar code data, these commands move the print position to the right-side dot of the bar code.

❏ If d is out of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and processes the

following data as normal data. In this case, the data buffer position does not change.

Macro Function Commands

The TM-L60II/L60IIP printers support the following macro function commands:

Command Name

GS : Start/end macro definition GS ^ Execute macro

GS :

[Name] Start/end macro definition [Format] ASCII GS :

Hex 1D 3A Decimal 29 58

GS ^ r t m

[Name] Execute macro [Format] ASCII GS ^ rtm

Hex 1D 5E rtm Decimal 29 94 rtm

[Range] 0 ≤ r ≤ 255

0 ≤ t ≤ 255 0 ≤ m ≤ 1

GS : starts or ends macro definition. Macro definition starts when this command is received during normal operation and ends when it is received during macro definition. Normal printing is performed while the macro is being defined. If the printer receives this command again immediately after previously receiving it, the printer remains in the macro undefined state. A macro is not defined when the power is turned on.

The macro definition can contain up to 2048 bytes. If the macro definition exceeds this value, the excess data is not stored.

GS ^ r t m executes a macro r times while waiting t × 100 msec for each macro execution. When m=0, the macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified by t. When m=1, the printer waits for the period specified by t, blinks the LED indicator, and then waits for the PAPER FEED button to be pressed. After this button is pressed, the printer executes the macro once. The printer repeats this operation r times.

Rev. A Command Descriptions 1-55

If this command is received while a macro is being defined, the printer ends macro definition mode and clears the definition. If a macro is not defined or if r is 0, nothing is executed. When the macro is executed by pressing the PAPER FEED button (m=1), paper cannot be fed with this button.

GS c

[Name] Print counter [Format] ASCII GS c

Hex 1D 63 Decimal 29 99

GS c sets the serial counter value in the print buffer and increments or decrements the counter value.

The counter print mode is set by the GS C 0 command, and the counter mode is set by the GS C 1 or GS C ; command.

After setting the current counter value in the print buffer as print data (a character string), the printer counts up or down based on the count mode set. The counter value in the print buffer is printed when the printer receives a print command or is in the buffer-full state.

In count-up mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter operation range set by the GS C 1 or GS C ; commands, it is forced to convert to the minimum value.

In count-down mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter operation range set by the GS C 1 or GS C ; commands, it is forced to convert to the maximum value.

Using Character Code Tables

The example below uses Page 0 (PC437) (see page 1-67) to illustrate the use of the character code tables.

You can find the character "A" in Page 0 as follows:

The decimal value for the character "A" is 65. Follow its column straight up to find the digits. Hexadecimal . . .4

Binary. . . . . . . . .0100

These numbers are the most significant bits of the ASCII code.

Follow its row to the left to find the digits. Hexadecimal . . .1

Binary. . . . . . . . .0001

These numbers are the least significant bits of the ASCII code.

The combination of the numbers above is the ASCII code for character "A".

Decimal . . . . . . .<65>

Hexadecimal . . .<41>H

Binary. . . . . . . . .<01000001>B

Application

This chapter presents an example illustrating ESC/POS command functions and printing results. The example shows how to issue a label containing bar codes. Set the paper selection function of the DIP switch to thermal label before turning on the printer.

Bar Codes Label Issuing

Procedure Commands Used Description

1. P ri nt message A ESC a, ESC !, LF Sets the print position to the center with ESC a and prints message A with LF.

2. Print bar code GS H, GS f, GS h, GS k, ESC J Prints bar co de after selecting the height o f the bar code with GS h and the printing position of the HRI characters with GS H.

3. P ri nt message B ESC a, ESC J Prints message B using ESC J.

4. Print date ESC a, ESC !, GS FF Sets the print positio n to t he right using ESC a, selects font B (9 x 24) with ESC !, and prints the date with GS FF.

*The paper LED blinks when the label is ejected from the position where the label can be peeled off. Press the PAPER FEED switch and peel off the label. The next label feeds to the starting positi on.

Command Reference

Command Classification

ESC/POS printer commands in this chapter are classified by function and by sheet and grade. The sheet and grade classification is called matrix classification.

The sheet classification is divided into single sheet commands and multiple sheet commands. The grade classification is separated into basic commands and extension commands.

Basic commands are defined as fundamental printer controls, including print commands and character type selection commands. Extension commands are defined as control codes for functions specific to individual printers. These commands are further divided into mechanical extension commands that relate to additional mechanical functions such as stamp and auto-cutter units, hardware extension

commands that relate to additional hardware functions such as panel button control, and software extension commands that relate to additional software functions such as user-defined and Bar code

control.

The commands can also be classified by function, which is how they are presented in Chapter 1 and the Function Type table in this chapter. The function types, such as Print Commands and Line Spacing Commands, are briefly explained in the corresponding sections of Chapter 1.

The illustration below shows the ESC/POS command overview diagram for printers.
