1.1 Objective

The purpose of this manual is to provide to developers and programmers detailed information about MP-4200

TH operation. All available commands are described to allow the use of MP-4200 TH to print receipts for any kind

of application.

1.2 Structure

This manual is organized in four chapters. This first chapter provides some highlights about MP-4200 TH

thermal printer and also some information on how to use this manual. The second chapter presents a summary

of all the commands supported by the MP-4200 TH in a form of a quick reference guide. The third chapter

providesindepthinformationabouteverycommandavailableintheESC/Bematechmodeofoperation.Thefourth

chapterprovidesindepthinformationabouteveryESC/POS®commandsupportedbyMP-4200THprinterwhen

operatingintheESC/POSmodeofoperation.

Chapters three and four describe commands using up to nine arguments, as described in Table 1.

Chapter 2

Quick Reference Guide

MP-4200 TH is a dual command set printer. A command set describes the behavior of the printer when

sequences of bytes are received through the communication interface. The two command sets available at the

MP-4200THareESC/Bematech(orESC/Bemaforshort)andESC/POS®,butonlyoneofthemisactiveat

a given time. There are commands specifically designed to switch from current command set to the other.

2.1 ESC/Bema Quick Reference Guide

 ESC/BemaisastandarddevelopedbyBematech,itspartnersandcustomersduring

several years of operation in the South America retail and bank automation markets.
