Controlling The Built-In Buzzer - Epson TM-T88V Technical Reference Manual

Controlling the Built-in Buzzer

For specifications with a built-in buzzer, a pulse output is sent to the operating pin for the
drawer kick connector, and the built-in buzzer beeps.
You cannot change the volume or the sound emitted, but you can change the buzzing time by
changing the signal pulse width.
This is controlled by a driver or by commands.
ESC/POS Commands
The output command for the specified pulse is used.
For details, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.
For Windows Printer Drivers (APD)
You can set so that the buzzer beeps at the start/end of printing or start/end of a page. For
details, see the manual for drivers.
For API, the API for opening the drawer is used. For details, see the manual for Status API of the
driver.
