MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual Introduction The objective of this manual is to give to programmers all necessary information to properly program and integrate the MP-4000 TH printer into a system. The MP-4000 TH printer is able to interpret ESC/Bema commands and ESC/POS® 1 commands. For further information refer to the documentation below available in our website: www.bematech.
MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual 1 Commands The MP-4000 TH printer has a series of programming commands that may be used in the remote mode. Two types of commands can be sent: 1.1 Direct command In this mode, a simple ASCII code is enough to command the printer. For example: ASCII CODE DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL : : : LF 10 0A This command causes the printer to perform a line feed. 1.2 Control sequence In this mode, more than one code may be sent to command or program the printer.
MP-4000 TH POS Printer Rev.1.4 Programmer’s Manual 2 Using the command summary The following section lists and describes all resident commands including command parameters. The command syntax is as follows: •ESC •ESC •ESC •ESC P is a command without parameters; Q n is a command with one parameter only; K n1 n2 is a command with two parameters; D n1...nk is a command with a variable number of parameters. A character ‘h’ following an alphanumeric string represents an hexadecimal number.
