EPSON LQ 2550 and ESC/P2 Quick Reference

This appendix contains basic information on the EPSON LQ 2550 and ESC/P2

Printer Emulation:

Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. Table 1

explains some of the conventions used.

A pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates Column/Row

notation. This notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code

table, such as ASCII. (example: 1/B = 1B is the hex-code for Escape)

Spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of

the format.

At the end of this chapter you will find a listing of the EPSON LQ 2550 and

ESC/P2 Emulation commands classified by Hex Code and a Hex - Decimal

conversion table.

The following conventions are used in the command listings:

Table 1 Conventions

ESC

Escape (1/B), introduces an escape sequence

P1

Numeric parameter, or number of units that specify a distance or

quantity pertaining to the escape sequence, control function or control

string. Accepted values are 0...9999, may be preceded by + or -.

If the parameter is in normal notation like "200" the programming in hex-

code is according to a ASCII table. ("200" = 32,30,30 in hex).

If the parameter must be programmed in hex-code the notation is with a

slash. (1/A = 1A in hex-code)

v1...vn A series of parameters pertaining to the escape sequence, control

function or control string.

SP

Is standing for Space (hex 20)
