ePOS-Print XML

from the socket communication environment or OS applications. For details of ePOS-Print XML, see the
ePOS-Print XML User's Manual.
ePOS-Print XML can be used when this product is connected to the TM printer.

ESC/POS

ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS
