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.
Features The TM-U950 and U950P are high-quality POS printers that can print on slip, journal, and receipt paper. The printers have the following features: ❏ Wide slip paper capability (maximum characters per line: 88 with 7 × 9 font). ❏ Interface connector within the printer’s external dimensions. ❏ High throughput using bidirectional, minimum distance printing. ❏ Precision paper feeding at 1/144 inch. ❏ Selectable receive buffer size (32 bytes or 2K bytes). ❏ Slip ejection sensor.

Print Commands The TM-U950/U950P supports the following commands for printing characters and advancing paper: Command Name LF Print and line feed CR Print and carriage return FF Print and eject slip paper ESC J Print and feed paper ESC K Print and reverse feed ESC d Print and feed n lines ESC e Print and reverse 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.
TM–U950/U950P Information Manual When auto line feed is enabled, CR functions in the same way as LF. When auto line feed is disabled, CR prints the data in the print buffer and does not feed the paper. The DIP switch setting enables or disables auto line feed.
The vertical motion unit uses the vertical value set by the GS P command. The default value in the vertical direction is 1/144 inch.
TM–U950/U950P Information Manual ESC d n prints the data in the print buffer and feeds n lines. The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line spacing command. The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. The default setting of the paper feed amount is 1/6 inch.
ESC 2 [Name] Select 1/6-inch line spacing [Format] ASCII ESC 2 Hex 1B 32 Decimal 27 50 ESC 3 n [Name] Set line spacing [Format] ASCII ESC 3 n Hex 1B 33 n Decimal 27 51 n [Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 ESC 2 sets the line spacing to 1/6 inch. This is equivalent to 12 dots. ESC 3 n sets the line spacing to [n × (vertical motion unit)] inches. The default setting of the paper feed amount is 1/6 inch. The vertical motion unit uses the vertical value set by the GS P command.
TM–U950/U950P Information Manual ESC C n sets the eject length for slip paper to n lines. The maximum eject length is 40 inches. The default setting of 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. The eject length set by this command is used by the FF command..
ESC SP n sets the right-side character spacing in [n × (horizontal motion unit)] inches. It is used to change the spacing between characters. The default right-side character spacing is set to 0 (n=0). The horizontal motion unit uses the horizontal value set by the GS P command. The default value in the horizontal direction is 1/150 inch.
TM–U950/U950P Information Manual ESC % n selects or cancels the user-defined character set. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, the user-defined character set is selected. When it is 0, the internal character set is selected; this is the default setting. ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1 ... d(y × x1)] ... [xk d1 ... d(y × xk)] defines user-defined characters from character code c1 to c2. The maximum number of user-defined characters differs depending on the receive buffer capacity.

The alphanumeric characters (20H (decimal 32) to 7FH (decimal 127)) are the same for each page. The graphic characters (80H (decimal 128) to FFH (decimal 255)) are different for each page. The default setting is page 0. n Character code table 0 Page 0 [PC437 (U.S.A.
ESC ! n [Name] Select print mode(s) [Format] ASCII ESC ! n Hex 1B 21 n Decimal 27 33 n 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 [Range] ESC ! n selects print modes using n as follows.

When n=1 or 49, underline mode is turned on, and when n=0 or 48, underline mode is turned off. The default setting is n=0.
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.
TM–U950/U950P Information Manual ESC z n turns parallel printing mode on or off for receipt and journal paper. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, parallel printing mode for receipt and journal paper is turned on; when it is 0, this mode is turned off. The default setting is n=0. This command is effective only when both receipt and journal paper are selected by ESC c 0 and it is sent at the beginning of a line.
ESC c 5 n enables or disables the RECEIPT FEED and JOURNAL/SLIP FEED buttons. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, these buttons are disabled; when it is 0, these buttons are enabled. To prevent problems caused by accidentally pressing the PAPER FEED button, use this command to disable the button. When the printer cover is open, the panel buttons are enabled regardless of the setting of this command.
