It's been a while since I've worked on this project, so my memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure it is compatible with ESC P. You can find a cursory list of commands here: http://support.epson.ru/products/manuals/000350/part1.pdf The two you'll use the most are likely CR / LF ( carriage return and line feed ) Mostly ascii, and a few line feeds.

I have been able to get make my own serial cable for it and it works perfectly. I took a nokia ca-42 usb-serial cable and adapted an end for the printer to connect. I have it communicating with the printer. It will print try to print anything i send to it but it all comes out as a jumbled incoherent mess. Were you ever able to get it working with a usb? Any ideas? (yes i know this is old but you are i thought i might get lucky) I have been trying to get a set of PD-22 working for myself.

But line feed is just LF, no escape, and I haven't yet deciphered how to get it to send those as commands and not just ASCII Oddly enough the escape sequence commands I’ve got down.

The 9 pin, usually Ring Indicator, is not connected. If you look on the lower left, you’ll see that 9 and 10 are tied to each other, and not the DB9.

One question: in the upper right, they show the usual pin assignments for the DB9 connector. But in the lower left, they show pins 2 through 10. How do you get ten pins in a DB9? Good progress.
