CONFIDENTIAL ESC/POS proprietary command system 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.
CONFIDENTIAL 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.
Sheet Single sheet Single sheet commands Software extension commands Multiple sheet commands Mechanical extension commands Multiple sheet Hardware extension commands CONFIDENTIAL Extension commands Basic commands Grade Paper roll Command classification Ver. 10.01 p.
CONFIDENTIAL 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.
CONFIDENTIAL Data processing diagram Host computer Interface Character generator (Font data) Print buffer Paper roll Overview of data processing Real-time command processing Receive buffer Main processing [Data analysis/processing] (Character data/normal command) Mechanism Ver. 10.01 p.
CONFIDENTIAL Definitions 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.
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.
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.

CONFIDENTIAL [Description] Executes paper cutting specified by m, as follows: m Function 0, 48 Executes a full cut (cuts the paper completely). 1, 49 Executes a partial cut (one point left uncut). 65 Feeds paper to (cutting position + n × vertical motion unit) and executes a full cut (cuts the paper completely). 66 Feeds paper to (cutting position + n × vertical motion unit) and executes a partial cut (one point left uncut).
CONFIDENTIAL [Notes for ] ■ ■ ■ ■ Vertical motion unit is used for calculating a paper feed amount. Basic paper feed amount differs, depending on the models. Paper is fed for the same amount as a cutting range when processing this function. The paper will not be cut when this command is executed. When a cutting position reaches an autocutter position after printing and feeding the next receipt, the printer executes a cutting.
CONFIDENTIAL TM-J2000/J2100 The vertical motion unit is specified by GS P. The cutting shapes of (m = 0,48) and (m = 1,49) are the same as the cutting shape of (m = 65) and (m = 66). Whether the operation is a full cut or a partial cut (one point is left) is determined by the installation position of the autocutter. The distance from print head to autocutter is about 24.5 mm {1 inch}. TM-T90 The vertical motion unit is specified by GS P.
CONFIDENTIAL After executing a paper cut, a paper feed for 1 mm {16/406 inches} before starting the next printing can provide the best printing result without uneven paper feeding. If the printer is left until the next printing after executing a paper cut, feeding paper more than 1 mm {16/406 inches} can avoid a paper jam inside the autocutter. TM-P60 The vertical motion unit is approximately 0.125 mm {1/203 inches}. This value equals one dot pitch.
CONFIDENTIAL TM-U220 This printer may make “dot displacement” after autocutting. It is recommended to feed approximately 2.116 mm or more for printing the next line to prevent “dot displacement after cutting.” Since TM-U220D is not equipped with an autocutter, it can use only Function B. The printer feeds paper for [manual cutter position + (n × approximately 0.176 mm {1/144 inch})]. The cutting shapes of (m = 0,48) and (m = 1,49) are the same as the cutting shape of (m = 65) and (m = 66).

CONFIDENTIAL • With a parallel interface printer, data (printer ID, printer information) sent with this command is temporarily stored in the printer send buffer like other transmitted data (except ASB).
