Emulation Modes and Available Commands
The Series 80PLUS PcOS thermal printer is capable of emulating an Ithaca M50, Epson TM88,
Epson TM85, and Axiohm 7193 series printer, in addition to the native M80PLUS PcOS. The Ithaca
M90 PcOS and M150 PcOS products are supersets/subsets of the M80PLUS. The current emulation
mode can be obtained at any time by performing a self-test and may be changed at any time via the
configuration mode.
Not all of the commands supported by the Series 80PLUS Printer are available at all times.
Standard Emulation
The standard control codes for the PcOS Series 80PLUS printers are extensions and subsets of
other Ithaca PcOS products. In some cases, an application designed for a Series 50 printer with
IBM code sets will function with a PcOS Series 80PLUS Printer in M50 emulation. There are,
however, significant differences in the operation of the PcOS Series 80PLUS Printer that may
impact existing applications.
ESC/POS
The Series 80PLUS printer supports an ESC/POS emulation with Epson or Axiohm emulations.
These commands are different from the PcOS commands and are documented in the
Epson/Axiohm command section of this manual.
IPCL Codes
IPCL (Ithaca Printer Control Language) codes are designed to control a printer without using control
characters (For example, characters less than 20H.) Not all commands are supported by IPCL codes.
For the commands that are, the IPCL code is listed.
In rare cases, an IPCL code will interfere with the text that is to be printed. The IPCL translator can
be disabled with an [ESC]y<4> command.
