Functionality—Control code/emulation
All EPSON impact printers utilize EPSON Standard Code (ESC/P and ESC/P 2) printer control language, which is
the industry standard for simple, efficient operation of impact printers.
EPSON 9-pin impact printers utilize ESC/P, the original printer control language.
EPSON 24-pin impact printers utilize ESC/P 2, which includes these additional features:
Proportionally-spaced s
Enhanced graphics printing which prints with 360 dpi in a
single pass of the print head and enhances printing with
Windows applications.
Most EPSON impact printers also offer an IBM emulation, which allows more connectivity compatibility.
Functionality—Paper handling
Versatile paper handling allows EPSON impact printers to handle several different types of paper — many
at the same time.
Tractor paper paths:
EPSON impact printers all include a rear tractor. In some models this tractor is moveable, and in some it is
fixed. Some EPSON impact printers also include additional tractor units, and all of EPSON's impact printers
have optional tractor units available.
The following chart explains the best use for the push tractor, pull tractor, and push/pull tractor
combinations:
Push tractor

and allows you to achieve
zero tear-off and top of form

to tear off the printed
document or form without
