Help for printer programming reference

[free]

I am looking for esc/pos application programming guide (APG) reference for epson TM series printer.
I want to connect the printer to PIC directly.
Can you help me please ?

You can use serial port and is very easy, the communication between pic and printer
the parallel port is more tedious and usb is very dificult.

read page 42  codes command and ascii

you can use protonplus or picbasic
define speed desired  read manual proton plus samples in rsout communication
use resistor 1k between pin pic and pin rx printer and commun boot sides


use rsout  <command>  , < characters to print> , 10,13

rsout  <command>  , < characters to print> , 10,13
rsout  <command>  , < characters to print> , 10,13
rsout  <command>  , < characters to print> , 10,13
rsout  <command>  , < characters to print> , 10,13
and you need read the manual (RFM)  user  to see commands.

Thanks for your help fernandodiaz,
I have already tried with epson LX800 via serial port. It's working fine.
The problem, some esc/pos command in LX and TM series are diference, I don't know what the commands are.
Is POSjet1000 compatible ( in command) with epson TM series?
