Print control

I am trying to create a ticket from SAP used to print to an Epson TI-T88II series printer. I have created an ABAP program using the spool to send the information to the printer. When I try to send (using write sentence) the control command, the printer doesn't recognize the code. I don't know if I wrote the control commands correctly. Do I need to call the control commands in Hexadecimal? How can I do this?

This is example of the code I send to the printer.

WRITE:/ '27L'.
WRITE:/ '27W,0,0,0,0,200,0,144,1'.
WRITE:/ '27T;0'.
WRITE:/ '"PRUEBAS DE IMPRESION"'.
WRITE:/ '12'.
