•Printingspeedsofupto250mm/sinbothtextandgraphicmodes.•Fourpaperwidths:58mm,76mm,80mmor82.5mm.•Twocommandssets:ESC/BematechorESC/POS®.•OneUSBdeviceinterfacealwaysavailabletoconnectwithhostcomputers.•TwodifferentmodelsofoptionalserialRS-232interfacescards,oneusingaDB-9connectorandanotherusingDB-25connector,toallowserialcommunicationwithlegacyandembeddedhosts.•Oneoptional10/100MbitEthernetinterfacecardwithintegratedTCP/IPstackforwiredremoteprintingthrough local area networks.• One optional IEEE 802.11b/gWi-Fi interface card with integrated TCP/IP stack for wireless remoteprinting through local area networks.•Sevencodepagesavailable:437 (USAandStandardEurope),850 (Multilingual“Latin-1”–WesternEuropeanLanguages),858(MultilingualwithEurosymbol),860(Portuguese),862(Hebrew),864(Arabic)and866(Cyrillic).•SupportsTraditionalChinese(Big5E)andSimplifiedChinese(GB2312orEUC-CN).•SupportsJapanese(JISandShiftJIS).•SupportsUTF-8characters.•Cangeneratefourteendifferenttypesofunidimensionalbarcodes(EAN-8,EAN-13,Code39,Code93,Code128(A,BandC),ITF,Codabar,UPC-A,UPC-E,ISBN,MSIorPlessey).•CangeneratePDF-417bidimensionalbarcode.•Maybeusedtocontroluptotwoexternalcashdrawers.•Dotdensityof203x203dpi.

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 providesindepthinformationabouteverycommandavailableintheESC/Bematechmodeofoperation.ThefourthchapterprovidesindepthinformationabouteveryESC/POS®commandsupportedbyMP-4200THprinterwhenoperatingintheESC/POSmodeofoperation. 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-4200THareESC/Bematech(orESC/Bemaforshort)andESC/POS®,butonlyoneofthemisactiveata given time. There are commands specifically designed to switch from current command set to the other.
