Print Commands - Epson TM-T88 Information Manual

Note that the program examples throughout this chapter use decimal numbers, but binary, decimal,
and hexadecimal numbers all have the same printing results.

Print Commands

The TM-T88/T88P (TM-T85/T85P) supports the following commands for printing characters and
advancing paper. When executing printing with the standard mode selected, the printer executes
paper feed. When the page mode is selected, except for FF and ESC FF, only the data development
position is moved and actual printing and paper feeding are not executed.
