Page 51: Application Development Information
Use a driver or ESC/POS commands to control the printer. Selecting a Driver Choose one of the drivers, Advanced Printer Driver (APD) or OPOS ADK, depending on the application operating environment. You cannot control the same printer with both of the drivers. -
Page 52: Esc/Pos Command
ESC/POS Command 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 make a nondisclosure contract first and get the ESC/POS Application Programing Guide. - Page 53 Select/cancel user-defined character set Define user-defined characters Cancel print data in page mode Commands for panel buttons Enable/disable panel buttons Commands for paper sensors Select paper sensor(s) to stop printing Select paper sensor(s) to output paper-end signals Commands for print positions Horizontal tab Set horizontal tab positions Set left margin...
