Appendix B: Communication Information

Commands

The commands control all operations and functions of the 7156 printer, from selecting the
size and placement of characters and graphics on the receipt or slip to feeding and cutting
the paper. The 7156 commands emulate the NCR 7150™ Multifunction printer, the Epson
TM-T80™ Thermal printer, and the Epson TM-930™ Thermal printer. You may select from
any of the commands to program a host computer to communicate with the 7156 printer.
Some commands listed and described here are not implemented in the 7156 (they are
identified as not implemented). If received, they are ignored and not sent to the print
buffer as data. Non-legal commands are sent to the print buffer as data. The commands are
listed in numerical order of their hexadecimal codes according to the following categories:
