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 selects 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

1, 2 — — — Undefined.

6 — — — Undefined.

Off 00 0 Character font 5 x 9 selected.

On 01 1 Character font 7 x 9 selected.

Off 00 0 Emphasized mo de not selected.

On 08 8 Emphasized mo de 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.

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.

Print Commands

The TM-U375/U375P supports the following commands for printing characters and advancing paper:

Command Name

LF Print and line feed CR Print and carriage return FF Print and eject cut sheet (in standard mode)

Print and return to standard mode (in page mode)

ESC J Print and feed paper ESC d Print and feed n lines

[Name] Print and line feed [Format] ASCII LF

Hex 0A Decimal 10

LF prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line. The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line spacing command. The default setting is 1/6 inch.

Program Example Print Sample

PRINT #1, "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA); AAAAA PRINT #1, "BBBBB "; CHR$(&HA); BBBBB

[Name] Print and carriage return [Format] ASCII CR

Hex 0D Decimal 13

CR prints one line of data from the print buffer and does not feed the paper. This command sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.

Program Example Print Sample

PRINT #1, "AAAAA "; CHR$(&HD); AAAAABB BBB PRINT #1, " BBBBB"; CHR$(&HA);

1-4 Command Descriptions Rev. A

Page 12

TM–U375/U375P Information Manual

[Name] Print and eject cut sheet (in standard mode)

Print and return to standard mode (in page mode)

[Format] ASCII FF

Hex 0C Decimal 12

In standard mode, FF prints the data in the print buffer and ejects the cut sheet (slip or validation paper). This command is enabled only when a cut sheet is selected for printing. When the eject length has been set by ESC C, the printer ejects the cut sheet based on the current eject length regardless of the cut-sheet paper sensor state. Otherwise, the printer ejects the cut sheet completely. Paper from the paper roll is not ejected, even if it is also selected.

After cut-sheet ejection, the paper roll is selected for printing. The cut sheet is ejected in the forward direction only.

In page mode, FF prints the data in the print buffer collectively and returns to standard mode. The buffer data is deleted after being printed, but the paper is not ejected.

Program Example <standard mod e> Print Sample <standard mode>

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"c0";CHR$(4);← Selec t slip PRINT #1, "AAAAA "; CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB "; CHR$(&HC);

AAAAA BBBBB

ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1 ... d(y × x1)] ... [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 codes from the alphanumeric characters (20H (decimal 32) to 7EH (decimal 126)) can be defined by c1 and c2. Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. As 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. When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is canceled.

Paper Sensor Commands

The TM-U375/U375P supports 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 n=0 (all paper sensors disabled).

If either bit 0 or 1 is 1, the paper roll near-end sensor is enabled to stop printing.

When a paper sensor is enabled with this command, printing stops only when the corresponding paper is selected for printing. It is possible to select multiple sensors to stop printing. Then if any of the selected sensors detects a paper-end or near-end, printing stops.

When the paper roll near-end sensor detects a near-end, printing stops after printing the current line and feeding the paper.

When DIP switch 2-3 is off and the paper roll near-end sensor detects a paper near-end, the printer goes off-line after printing stops.

When the slip or validation ejection sensor detects a paper-end, the printer ejects the paper after printing and then enters the paper waiting state.

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.

Hex 1B 63 33 n Decimal 27 99 51 n

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255

ESC c 3 n selects paper sensor(s) to output paper-end signals to a parallel interface. The default value is to enable the paper roll near-end sensor (n=3).

If either bit 0 or bit 1 is 1, the paper roll near-end sensor is selected as a paper-end sensor that is enabled to output a paper-end signal.

If any of bits 4-7 are 1, the cut-sheet (slip or validation paper) sensor is selected as a paper-end sensor that is enabled to output a paper-end signal.

When both of these sensors are selected to output signals and either one detects a paper-end, the paper-end signal is output. This command is enabled 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:

Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function

Off 00 0 Paper roll near-end sensor disabled.

On 01 1 Paper roll near-end sensor enabled.

[Name] Select paper type(s) for printing [Format] ASCII ESC c 0 n

Hex 1B 63 30 n Decimal 27 99 48 n

[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 11

ESC c 0 n selects paper type(s) for printing. The paper roll, slip, and validation paper are available. The paper roll and slip or validation paper can be selected simultaneously. Slip and validation paper cannot be selected simultaneously. When previously disabled slip or validation paper is enabled, the printer waits for the slip or validation paper to be inserted. When previously enabled slip or validation paper is disabled, the printer ejects the paper. The paper roll is enabled by the default value (n=1). If either bit 0 or 1 is 1, the paper roll is selected.

When the paper roll and slip or validation paper are selected simultaneously, the paper roll must contain pressure-sensitive paper or the image will not be printed.

This command is enabled only when input at the beginning of a line in standard mode. This command is not valid in page mode.

ESC f t1 t2 sets the time that the printer waits for cut sheet (slip or validation paper) to be inserted to t1 × 1 minutes, and the time from insertion of the sheet to the start of printing to t2 × 0.1 seconds.

When t1=0, the sheet waiting time is not set and the printer continues waiting for a sheet to be inserted. The default for the sheet waiting time is not set, and the start operation time is set to 1 second (t1=0, t2=10). This setting alone, however, does not cause the printer to immediately start waiting for a sheet to be inserted. The setting becomes effective when ESC c 0 is used. DLE ENQ is used to cancel the sheet waiting state.

nL nH sets the left margin to [(nL + nH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)] inches from the

beginning of a line. The default setting is

nL=0, nH=0. This command is enabled only at the beginning

of a line in standard mode. If this command is entered in page mode, an internal flag is activated and the command is enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.

GS W

default setting is

nL nH sets the printing area width to [(nL + nH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)] inches. The

nL=144, nH=1. This command is enabled only at the beginning of a line in standard

mode. If this command is entered in page mode, an internal flag is activated and the command is enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.

If the above commands set the printing area width to less than the width of one character, the printing area width is extended to accommodate one character for the line.

The horizontal motion units use the horizontal value set by the GS P command. The default setting is 1/160 inch.

Mechanism Control Commands

The TM-U375/U375P supports the following mechanism control commands:

Command Name

ESC < Return home ESC U Turn unidirectional printing mode on/off ESC q Paper release

ESC <

[Name] Return home [Format] ASCII ESC <

Hex 1B 3C Decimal 27 60

1-40 Command Descriptions Rev. A

Page 48

TM–U375/U375P Information Manual

ESC < moves the print head to the home position. The print head first moves to the left-most position, then to the right-most position, and then to approximately the center of the line.

To prevent paper jams, do not use this command while slip paper is inserted.

Program Example

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"<";

ESC U n

[Name] Turn unidirectional printing mode on/off [Format] ASCII ESC U n

Hex 1B 55 n Decimal 27 85 n

[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255

ESC U n turns unidirectional printing mode on or off. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, unidirectional printing is turned on; when it is 0, unidirectional printing is turned off and bidirectional printing mode is turned on. Unidirectional printing can be turned on when printing double-height characters to ensure that the top and bottom of the characters are aligned. The default setting is n=0 in standard mode and n=1 in page mode.

Program Example

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"U";CHR$(1); ← U nidirection al pri nting mode turned on

GS P x y

[Name] Set horizontal and vertical motion units [Format] ASCII GS P xy

Hex 1D 50 xy Decimal 29 80 xy

[Range] 0 ≤ x ≤ 255

0 ≤ y ≤ 255

GS P x y sets the horizontal and vertical motion units to 1/x and 1/y inches, respectively. The horizontal and vertical motion units indicate the minimum pitch used for calculating the values of related commands (shown below). The default values are x=160 and y=144. The calculated result when using this command with other commands is truncated to the minimum value of the mechanical pitch (1/160 inch horizontal and 1/144 inch vertical) or an exact multiple of that minimum value. When x and y are set to 0, the default setting of each value is used.

Commands used with the horizontal motion unit (1/x) in standard mode: ESC SP, ESC $, ESC W, ESC /, GS L, and GS W.

Commands used with the vertical motion unit (1/y ) in standard mode: ESC 3, ESC J, and ESC W.

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.
