Chapter 4: Programming the Printer
Overview of Printing Characteristics
Commands control all operations and functions of the printer. This includes selecting the size and placement of
characters and graphics on the receipt or the slip and feeding and cutting the paper. The programming commands
have been organized, in order of hexadecimal code within functional groups. For this reason, “related” commands may
not be listed adjacent to one another.
The A776 (B780) standard command set allows it to work with software written for CognitiveTPG or other POS
compliant printers.
Any of the commands may be used in any combination to program a host computer to communicate with the printer
(unless otherwise noted).
For the printer to operate properly within an Ethernet environment, a specific set of commands must be set.
Some commands listed and described here may not be implemented and are identified as “not implemented.”
If received, they are ignored and not sent to the print buffer as data.
Any non-legal commands have their parameter sent to the print buffer as data.
