Application Development Information
This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer application develop-
ment.
Controlling the Printer
The printer supports the following command systems:
 ePOS-Print XML (Wi-Fi model only)
 ESC/POS
Users can control the printer by using the aforementioned commands, or the following development kits or
drivers.
 ePOS-Print SDK
 OPOS ADK
 OPOS ADK for .NET
 JavaPOS ADK
 EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (APD)
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.
On this printer, ePOS-Print XML is only supported by a Wi-Fi model.
ESC/POS
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS
commands, you can directly control all the TM-P20 printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer speci-
fications or combination of commands is required, compared to using drivers and applications.
For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.
To use ePOS-Print XML or SDK for JavaScript, set ePOS-Print to Enable in EpsonNet Config (Web Ver-
sion) beforehand.
For details about EpsonNet Config (Web Version), see
"EpsonNet Config (Web Version)" on page 65.
