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.

TM–U375/U375P Information Manual

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

Note that the program examples throughout this chapter use decimal numbers, but binary, decimal,

and hexadecimal numbers all have the same printing results.
