ePOS-Print XML
ePOS-Print XML is the Epson original control command system for POS printers defined in XML. With ePOS-
Print XML commands, you can print in environments where http communication is available and from OS
applications. For detailed information about ePOS-Print XML, see the ePOS-Print XML User's Manual.
ESC/POS
