'''ESC/POS''' is a set of printer-control commands introduced by Epson for use in point of sale (POS) systems. It differs from the [[ESC/P]] commands used on many Epson printers, primarily the dot-matrix variety. Most commands are "escape sequences" consisting of the ESC character followed by various other characters, but some of the other [[ASCII]] [[C0 controls]] are also used.<br />
<br />
Commands can do things such as set different character sets, fonts, and formatting, as well as printing [[bar codes]]. The specific supported features vary between printer models. The command set appears to be smaller and simpler than that of ESC/P, and includes commands specifically geared to POS systems such as one to open the cash drawer.<br />
