The past couple days I was on a mission to look for a way to replace our aging dot-matrix receipt printer. We got some new printers to go with our new credit card processor. These printers are Epson TM-T20 thermal printers. I had some problems finding the information to have the printer cut the paper and to get it to eject the cash drawer. I am documenting what I found here for people in the future to figure out.
You need these codes embedded in the spool file. The first hex character, 03
, tells the OS we are sending ASCII characters. The second, 06
, tells the OS that the next x characters are ASCII.
- To cut the paper –

- To eject the cash drawer 1 –

- To eject the cash drawer 2 –
