ESCPOS.NET - Easy to use, Cross-Platform, Fast and Efficient.
ESCPOS.NET is a super easy to use library that supports the most common functionality of the ESC/POS standard by Epson. It is highly compatible, and runs on full framework .NET as well as .NET Core.
It works with Serial, USB, Ethernet, and WiFi printers, and works great on Windows, Linux and OSX.
This library is used for thermal receipt printers, line displays, cash drawers, and more!
ESC/POS is a binary protocol that's a type of "raw" text, which means you do not need drivers to use it.
This library encompasses helper functions that assist in creating the binary command stream that is needed to control this hardware, as well as the underlying communications that are needed to interface with the hardware.
This means that Bluetooth, WiFi, Ethernet, USB, and Serial printers are all usable with just this software library and nothing else.
# Get Started
## Step 1: Create a Printer object
```csharp
// Ethernet or WiFi
var printer = new NetworkPrinter(ipAddress: "192.168.1.50", port: 9000, reconnectOnTimeout: true);
// USB, Bluetooth, or Serial
var printer = new SerialPrinter(portName: "COM5", baudRate: 115200);
// Linux output to USB / Serial file
var printer = new FilePrinter(filePath: "/dev/usb/lp0");
```
## Step 1a (optional): Monitor for Events - out of paper, cover open...
```csharp
// Define a callback method.
static void StatusChanged(object sender, EventArgs ps)
{
var status = (PrinterStatusEventArgs)ps;
Console.WriteLine($"Status: {status.IsPrinterOnline}");
Console.WriteLine($"Has Paper? {status.IsPaperOut}");
Console.WriteLine($"Paper Running Low? {status.IsPaperLow}");
Console.WriteLine($"Cash Drawer Open? {status.IsCashDrawerOpen}");
Console.WriteLine($"Cover Open? {status.IsCoverOpen}");
}
...
// In your program, register event handler to call the method when printer status changes:
printer.StatusChanged += StatusChanged;
// and start monitoring for changes.
printer.StartMonitoring();
```
## Step 2: Write a receipt to the printer
```csharp
var e = new EPSON();
printer.Write(
ByteSplicer.Combine(
e.CenterAlign(),
e.PrintImage(File.ReadAllBytes("images/pd-logo-300.png"), true),
e.PrintLine(),
e.SetBarcodeHeightInDots(360),
e.SetBarWidth(BarWidth.Default),
e.SetBarLabelPosition(BarLabelPrintPosition.None),
e.PrintBarcode(BarcodeType.ITF, "0123456789"),
e.PrintLine(),
e.PrintLine("B&H PHOTO & VIDEO"),
e.PrintLine("420 NINTH AVE."),
e.PrintLine("NEW YORK, NY 10001"),
e.PrintLine("(212) 502-6380 - (800)947-9975"),
e.SetStyles(PrintStyle.Underline),
e.PrintLine("www.bhphotovideo.com"),
e.SetStyles(PrintStyle.None),
e.PrintLine(),
e.LeftAlign(),
e.PrintLine("Order: 123456789 Date: 02/01/19"),
e.PrintLine(),
e.PrintLine(),
e.SetStyles(PrintStyle.FontB),
e.PrintLine("1 TRITON LOW-NOISE IN-LINE MICROPHONE PREAMP"),
e.PrintLine(" TRFETHEAD/FETHEAD 89.95 89.95"),
e.PrintLine("----------------------------------------------------------------"),
e.RightAlign(),
e.PrintLine("SUBTOTAL 89.95"),
e.PrintLine("Total Order: 89.95"),
e.PrintLine("Total Payment: 89.95"),
e.PrintLine(),
e.LeftAlign(),
e.SetStyles(PrintStyle.Bold | PrintStyle.FontB),
e.PrintLine("SOLD TO: SHIP TO:"),
e.SetStyles(PrintStyle.FontB),
e.PrintLine(" FIRSTN LASTNAME FIRSTN LASTNAME"),
e.PrintLine(" 123 FAKE ST. 123 FAKE ST."),
e.PrintLine(" DECATUR, IL 12345 DECATUR, IL 12345"),
e.PrintLine(" (123)456-7890 (123)456-7890"),
e.PrintLine(" CUST: 87654321"),
e.PrintLine(),
e.PrintLine()
)
);
```
# Supported Platforms
Desktop support (WiFI, Ethernet, Bluetooth, USB, Serial):
* Windows
- Windows 7+ can support .NET Core or the .NET 471 runtime, and can use this library.
* Linux

# Supported Hardware
Epson thermal receipt printers are supported, and most common functions such as test printing, styling, alignment, image printing, and barcode printing.
Generic thermal printers that implement ESC/POS typically work, for example the Royal PT-300, and BemaTech printers are also tested by some members of the community, @juliogamasso and @ivanmontilla.
Cash Drawers are supported, as are Line Displays.
## Further Documentation and Usage

# USB Usage Guide
For cross-platform support and ease of maintenance, all USB printers are supported over Serial-USB interfaces. These are full-speed and work just as well as native USB as long as you have your port settings optimized.
On Linux and Mac, USB for Epson printers is exposed as a serial port directly by the os under /dev/ttyusb or something similar based on your platform, and doesn't require drivers.
On Windows, you must install some type of virtual COM port driver for native USB support, and then map your printer to a specific port, or use a USB-Serial cable and use a serial printer.
If you have an official Epson printer, the link to install it from Epson is here: https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=single_soft&cid=6481&scat=36&pcat=5
If you do not have an official Epson printer, you will have to find a compatible way to expose the USB interface as a virtual Serial port.
NOTE: The cross platform .NET library we use from Microsoft only supports COM ports 8 and below on windows, so be sure not to use a very high # COM port.
