How to auto tear paper after printing receipt is completed.

If you are using the generic driver you can get the code from epsonexpert.com site or try this

SELECT CUT MODE AND CUT PAPER ASCII GS V m



executes full or partial cut. HEX 1D 56 m


DEC 29 86 m


m = 0, 1, 48 or 49 cuts paper










SELECT CUT MODE AND CUT PAPER ASCII GS V m n



feeds paper and executes full or partial cut. HEX 1D 56 m n

DEC 29 86 m n

m = 65 or 66 feeds paper to (cut position + [n x (vertical motion unit)]) and cuts the paper
n = 0 to 255

I had the same problem, and after going through so many articles, I was getting the message but didn't know how to pass the escape codes. All you need to do is pass the ASCII code of the characters needed preceded by the ASCII code for Escape. In Delphi, we use Char(27) or #27. In my case I used ESC 105 Null and it worked. Here is my sample code, with Str being a TStrings class (A string array object) and the WriteTextFile being a procedure to write the Strings to LPT1 as plain text. Str.Add('*********END**********'); Str.Add(''); Str.Add(#10); Str.Add(#10); Str.Add(#27#105); WriteTextFile(dmMain.LPTFile, Str); any questions, holla me at [email protected] or [email protected]

I use en EPSON TM-T88III with the generic driver in a DOS app. The code DEC 29 86 m has worked!!! THANKS!

Look for this driver on the web
