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.
PAGE 5
Features The TM-U375 and TM-U375P are high-performance POS printers that can print on slip, validation, and journal paper. The printers have the following features: ❏ World’s smallest multi-function 1.5 station printer. ❏ High-speed printing using logic seeking. ❏ Easy problem handling (e.g., paper jams or objects dropped into the printer) via a clamshell mechanism. ❏ Two cut-sheet entrances: from above for validation paper and from the front for slip paper.

TM–U375/U375P Information Manual Using Bit Value Tables For each command that has a complex method of determining the variable n, there is a table showing how to calculate the variable in three numbering systems: binary, hexadecimal, and decimal. When you look at the table, first find the value of each component of the variable. Then add the values of the components together to determine the value of the variable n.
PAGE 11
Print Commands The TM-U375/U375P supports the following commands for printing characters and advancing paper: Command Name LF Print and line feed CR Print and carriage return FF 1 Print and eject cut sheet (in standard mode) 2 Print and return to standard mode (in page mode) ESC J Print and feed paper ESC d Print and feed n lines LF [Name] Print and line feed [Format] ASCII LF Hex 0A Decimal 10 LF prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line.
PAGE 12
TM–U375/U375P Information Manual FF [Name] [Format] 1 Print and eject cut sheet (in standard mode) 2 Print and return to standard mode (in page mode) ASCII FF Hex 0C Decimal 12 In standard mode, FF prints the data in the print buffer and ejects the cut sheet (slip or validation paper). This command is enabled only when a cut sheet is selected for printing.
PAGE 13
ESC J n [Name] Print and feed paper [Format] ASCII ESC J n Hex 1B 4A n Decimal 27 74 n [Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 ESC J n prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper [n × (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches. This command is used to temporarily feed a specific length without changing the line spacing set by other commands. The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. When standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used.
PAGE 14
TM–U375/U375P Information Manual Line Spacing Commands The TM-U375/U375P supports the following commands for setting line spacing. These commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode. The line spacing set using these commands effects the results of the LF and ESC d commands. The paper is advanced using the PAPER FEED button.
PAGE 15
ESC C n [Name] Set cut sheet eject length [Format] ASCII ESC C n Hex 1B 43 n Decimal 27 67 n 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 [Range] ESC C n sets the eject length for cut sheet (slip or validation paper) to n lines. The maximum eject length is 40 inches. The default setting for the eject length is n=0. This length is calculated by [n × line spacing setting]. No eject length is set if n=0. When n=0, the paper is ejected continuously until it is completely out of the printer.

PAGE 22
TM–U375/U375P Information Manual ESC – n turns underline mode on or off. When n=1 or 49, underline mode is turned on, and when n=0 or 48, underline mode is turned off. When underline mode is on, 90° clockwise rotated characters cannot be underlined. The default setting is n=0.
PAGE 23
ESC G n turns double-strike mode on or off. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, doublestrike mode is turned on; when it is 0, double-strike mode is turned off. The default setting is n=0. Double-strike and emphasized printing appear the same. This command is enabled only in standard mode. If this command is entered in page mode, an internal flag is activated and the command is enabled when the printer returns to standard mode.

This command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer is full, or an error occurs. It is valid only when n=1 or n=2, or when a recoverable error other than an automatically recoverable error occurs. When n=3, it is valid only when the printer is waiting for a cut sheet (slip or validation paper).

TM–U375/U375P Information Manual Chapter 3 Command Reference Command Classification ESC/POS printer commands in this chapter are classified by function and by sheet and grade. The sheet and grade classification is called matrix classification. The sheet classification is divided into single sheet commands and multiple sheet commands. The grade classification is separated into basic commands and extension commands.

Supported Command Command CR CAN RS DLE EOT DLE ENQ ESC FF ESC SP Print and carriage return Function TM267II When auto line feed is enabled, this command functions in the same way as LF. When auto line feed is disabled, this command prints the data in the print buffer and does not feed the paper. Cancel print data in page mode Deletes all the print data in the current printing area in page mode. Journal tab Moves the print position to the beginning of the journal paper.
