Paper roll ESC/POS proprietary command system

Ver. 10.01 p. 7

ESC/POS proprietary command system

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.

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.

Paper roll Command classification

Ver. 10.01 p. 8

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.

Paper roll Overview of data processing

Ver. 10.01 p. 10

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.
