ESC/POS Commands
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system. With ESC/POS commands, you can
directly control all the TM printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifications or
combination of commands is required, compared to using a driver.
To use ESC/POS commands, you need to agree to a nondi
sclosure contract first and obtain the
ESC/POS Application Programming Guide. Ask your dealer for details.
