ESC/POS proprietary command system

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.

As personal computers begin to be used as POS terminals, the demand for matching uniform peripheral devices is expected to rise. At present, however, many of the competing POS terminal printers 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.

ESC/POS

EPSON took the initiative by introducing ESC/POS, a proprietary POS printer command system, which includes patented or patent pending commands and enables versatile POS system construction with high scalability. Compatible with all types of EPSON POS printers and displays, this proprietary control system also offers the flexibility to easily make future upgrades. Its popularity is worldwide.

®

PROPRIETARY COMMAND SYSTEM

ESC/POS is designed to reduce the processing load on the host computer in POS environments. It comprises a set of highly functional and efficient commands that enables the full realization of the potential of printers.

A command set designed for universal applicability

The commands that are supported by all EPSON POS printers and those that are specific to individual models are clearly described. This means that ESC/POS compatible software will work with any system and be suitable for a wide range of applications.

Superb expandability allowing the addition of new functions

New functions can be added and accommodated by the categories already provided in the command system.

Allows more effective use of software

Once a software application has been created for one printer in the TM series, it can be used as the basis for versions for the other printers in the series. Only a small portion of the program source code needs to be modified.

Command classification

COMMAND CLASSIFICATION

ESC/POS printer commands are classified by functions such as print, character, print position, printing paper, line spacing, panel button, paper sensor, mechanism control, status, bar code, bit-image, macro function, control option, and miscellaneous functions. The classification is called function classification.

ESC/POS printer commands are also classified 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 autocutter units, hardware extension commands that relate to additional hardware functions such as panel button and status transmission controls, and software extension commands that relate to additional software functions such as user-defined and bar code controls. The next screen is an overview diagram of the matrix classification of ESC/POS.

Overview of data processing

OVERVIEW OF DATA PROCESSING

Character Data and Normal Commands

The printer stores data sent from the host computer in the receive buffer temporarily, and then the printer interprets the data and classifies them into commands or character data sequentially. If the data from the receive buffer is a normal command, the printer processes the command corresponding to its function; for example, if the data interpreted is ESC 3, the printer changes a setting value for the line spacing, and if it is LF, the printer prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper one line.

If the data from the receive buffer is character data, the printer reads the appropriate font data from the resident character generator and writes image data to the print buffer.

Real-time Commands

The printer stores data sent from the host computer in the receive buffer, interprets the data, and processes the commands corresponding to their function one line at a time. The real-time commands are the commands that consist of a DLE extension, such as DLE EOT or DLE ENQ. They are processed immediately. The real-time commands are ignored as undefined codes in the main processing.

DEFINITIONS

Normal commands

Normal commands are all the commands except real-time commands. The normal commands are stored in the receive buffer temporarily and then processed sequentially.

Real-time commands

Real-time commands are the commands that consist of a DLE extension (such as DLE EOT or DLE ENQ). The realtime commands execute processing when received. After executing, they are stored in the receive buffer and then discarded as undefined codes when the normal commands are processed.

Receive buffer

The receive buffer is used to store data from the host computer. All received data is stored in this buffer and processed in the order received. Buffer capacity depends on the printer model used.

Obsolete commands

These are commands that will not be supported by future printer models. The command descriptions give a better command to use for the same function.

Print buffer

The print buffer is used to store image data for printing.

Print buffer-full

This state occurs when the print buffer becomes full.

Print buffer-full printing

If new print data (such as characters or bit images) or horizontal tabs are processed in standard mode when the print buffer is full, the image data already stored in the print buffer is printed, and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation as LF. The data (print data or horizontal tab) that causes the print buffer-full is processed from the beginning of the next line.

If new print data (such as characters or bit images) or horizontal tabs are processed in page mode when the print buffer is full, the printer moves the print position to the beginning of the next line (the same operation as LF) and processes the data (print data or horizontal tabs) that causes the print buffer-full.

Paper roll Definitions

Ver. 10.01 p. 12

CONFIDENTIAL

Beginning of the line

The beginning of the line meets all of the following conditions:

• No data exists in the print buffer.

• No spaces are skipped by HT in the print buffer.

• The print position has not been specified by ESC $ or ESC \.

In standard mode, the beginning of the line is the left margin.

Printable area

This is the maximum printable area specified for each printer model. This can be changed by setting the paper width with GS ( E fn = 5 or DIP switch or setting of paper layout that is supported by the label printer model.

Printing area

This is the printing range set by a command. The printing area should be equal to or smaller than the printable area. In standard mode, the printing area is set by GS L and GS W, and in page mode, it is set by ESC W.

Ignoring a command

This is the printer state in which the printer does nothing after receiving all codes, including parameters.

Horizontal/vertical direction

Horizontal direction is the direction that is perpendicular to the paper feed direction. Vertical direction is the paper feed direction. In page mode, however, horizontal/vertical direction differs, depending on the print direction of a character, not the paper feed direction.

Baseline

The baseline for character sets that are 9 dots high (for example, 7 × 9 and 9 × 9) is the invisible line marking the bottom of the character matrix (the bottom of the lowest dot possible). For other character sets, the baseline is the bottom of all characters, excluding descenders, such as the bottom parts of “g” and “y”, which are below the baseline.

Setting commands

Setting commands change printer status by processing a command and affect printer operation and print results thereafter. The commands that can specify enhanced characters, set paper feed amount, and select a character are setting commands as are some of the normal commands.

Paper roll Definitions

Ver. 10.01 p. 13

CONFIDENTIAL

Executing commands

Executing commands affect printer operation and change the printer status temporarily but do not affect the following printer operation. Functions of printing, paper cutting, and status transmission are executing commands and the real-time commands and some of the normal commands are executing commands.

MSB

Most Significant Bit

LSB

Least Significant Bit

Obsolete commands

These are commands that will not be supported by future printer models. The description of each of these commands gives a better command to use for the same function.

“Reserved” bit

“Reserved” bits are as follows:

• Bit that will be used for an extended function in the future.

• Bit that has a function in the ESC/POS specification; however, the printer does not support the function.

Use a bit with a value indicated in a table.

“Fixed” bit

Use a bit only with a value indicated in a table.

[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer, and ejects the label and feeds paper to the print starting position on the

next label. [Recommended Functions]

This command is an obsolete command that is supported only by some printer models and may not be

supported by future models.

FS(L is recommended for controlling labels. With the following procedure, that command can perform the

same as this command.

1. Using LF, the printer prints the last line of a label.

2. Using FS(L <function 65, (m = 49)>, execute the paper feed to the peeling position of the next label.

3. After label peeling, using FS(L <function 67, (m = 50)> feeds the paper to the print start position of the current label.

[Notes]

■ This command is enabled only when a label is selected.

■ This command is enabled only when standard mode is selected.

■ When the label is advanced, the following processes are performed:

• After printing, the label is advanced so that it can be peeled off.

• The paper LED blinks waiting for the paper feed button to be pressed (press the button after peeling

the label off).

• When the paper feed button is pressed, the next label is fed in reverse direction to the print starting

position. When a left margin is set, the print position is set to the left margin.

■ When panel buttons are disabled by ESC c 5, the paper feed button is enabled temporarily when the paper LED blinks to indicate that the printer is waiting for the paper feed button to be pressed (but a label cannot be fed).

■ Methods of specifying label paper differ, depending on the printer models.
