What is ESC/P?
'''ESC/P''' is a printer control language developed by [[Epson]]. The language was popular with [[dot-matrix printers]]. It uses escape codes, a command starts with the escape character. As an example, ESC E will switch on '''bold''', and ESC F will switch it off. There are different versions of the protocol, which was also used by other printer manufacturers. Today, ESC/P is rarely used any more; modern printers use page description languages like [[Postscript]], [[PCL]] or [[PDF]]. {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Computing]]
