Introduction

ESC/POS

The market for store automation equipment is changing rapidly with the widespread

introduction of POS (point of sale) terminals. These terminals are now appearing even in small

retail stores and specialty shops. They occupy a secure position in the range of applications

available for personal computers.

As more personal computers come to be used as POS terminals, the demand for matching

standardized peripheral devices is expected to rise. At present, however, many of the competing

POS terminal printer displays on the market employ mutually incompatible command sets. This

imposes limits on the expandability and range of applications possible with PC-based systems.

There is a need for a new command set designed to provide the expandability and universal

applicability demanded by the market.

To meet this need, Seiko Epson Corporation proposes the adoption of a newly developed

command set to standardize POS terminal peripheral devices: ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code

for Point of Sale).

The aim when developing ESC/POS was to create a set of control codes that could be used to

operate any output device connected to a POS terminal. These new codes are intended to replace

the mutually incompatible command sets previously in use.

TM/DM series models already support ESC/POS, and they have been evaluated highly in the

marketplace.

Seiko Epson Corporation plans to produce new models in the TM/DM series offering ESC/POS

support and to continue to work for the standardization of the entire POS environment to

promote the dissemination of ESC/POS.
