Description

I've been looking for a escpos command to set the printer's encoding page.
So far all I managed to do is use the manual way. In my EPSON TM-20 I powered off the printer, switch it back on while pressing and holding the feed button, then following the printed instruction to do the setup.

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by checking the ESC/POS command documentation for encoding-page selection and the Epson TM-20 manual; determine whether the printer supports this through commands. Done would be a clear supported-command path or a documented conclusion that it is unavailable.
