    Note:

    To put the cash drawer codes on a template do not select Open Cash Drawer.  Instead select Text and enter ‘ASCII:’ followed by the escape codes separated by commas. e.g. – ASCII:27,112,0,99,100 Touchnet will recognize this as a command and will transmit the ASCII values of the numbers instead of transmitting the line as text.

EPSON 290 SLIP PRINTER

    Most functions of the printer are controlled by software control codes.

    The printer will operate in two modes, the default which is standard mode, and page mode.  The page mode has a more restrictive command set and works by holding all data in a buffer until it receives an ‘FF’, then it will print the buffer.  We will generally use the standard mode of print.

    The printer powers up in a mode where it will print even though it has no paper.  Sending the printer a ‘27,99,52,16 (esc c4 16) will set the top of form detector on, a ‘27,99,52,32 (esc c3 32) will set the bottom of form detector on and a ‘27,99,52,48 (esc c4 48) will enable both detectors so the printer will wait until paper has been placed in the printer before it prints.

    To accomplish this in a print template, use an unused code sequence such as red print to hold the first 3 codes then line use the character “0” (zero) as the first character on the next line. (The character zero is decimal 48)

    Paper eject is done by multiple line feeds, using a form feed command or by specifying a length of feed using the cut sheet eject length.

        Form feed command = 12 (0C)

        Set sheet eject length=27,67,n (where ‘n’ equals the number of lines to eject)

    Slip clamping seems to be automatic when printing begins, clamp release is accomplished using ‘27,113’ (esc q).

    Initialize printer = ‘27,64’ (esc @).

    Normal print = ‘27,33,0’ (esc ! 0) is font A which is the default.

    Large (wide) print = ‘27,33,32’ (esc ! 32).

    Open cash drawer = ‘27,112,0,99,100’ (esc p 0 c d) Use the ‘ASCII:’ command explained in the escape code section for this sequence.

    Cabling is the same as other Epson printers.  It must be wired for flow control.
