For the first time I've been given this Thermal printer (M325A) to use, at this stage I have ZERO idea of how to code my desktop application to print "ANYTHING". But my present requirement will be to print just 4 lines of information:-

  • Pre-mentioned Static Banner (Big text),
  • User supplied numeric value (Non-Decimals),
  • Serial Number (Progressive),
  • Current Date & Time.

    Kindly help me start.

      from [here](https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/) you get apparently documentation, drivers and probably all that you need to find out how the communication with this device works. If nothing helps, I would suggest to directly conntact the tech support of epson. I usually do that, and in almost all cases they are very eager to help. Because they want to leave a good impression, so that you buy more of their stuff ;) – Mong Zhu Jun 18 '20 at 06:24

      Probably the easiest way to use this library. [lukevp/ESC-POS-.NET](https://github.com/lukevp/ESC-POS-.NET) – kunif Jun 23 '20 at 07:37

    While there are printing libraries out there, you can as well directly connect to the printer, over serial, USB, or, ethernet, and send it the commands to print. ESC/POS capable printers interpret escape sequences, which are very well documented. You must, however, get to know how you can send binary data (i.e. 8-bit bytes) directly to the printer.
