This should work, but you will need to know the codepage (encoding) commands 
for your printer.

This usually requires determining the commands from a chart on the EPSON ESC/P 
programming manual.

The ESC/P manual can be very confusing.

This part is correct syntax:
x1Bx28x74

This part needs to be determined:
nL nH ---> usually represents a Low Bit and a High Bit, i.e. x00x00 to xFFxFF, 
unsure the context, sorry

This part 
 d1 d2 d3 --> x??x20x00 (I do not know what d1 represents in this context, sorry)

You are getting closer...

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I found something about d1.

Assigns the d2 registered character table to the d1 character table according 
to the following values(the d1 character table is one of the four tables 
selectable with the ESC t command):

I don't know ESC t command mean.

but now I try something like this.

qz.appendHex("x1Bx28x74xFFxFFx0x20x00");
qz.append('ทดสอบ');
qz.print();

Printer has not printing.

> xFFxFF

These can't be blindly set, they are low-bits and high-bits of a parameter.  
Can you link me the PDF and page number you are referencing for your exact 
model printer?  I will have our ESCP guy take a look!

Sorry, If I wrong because I can't see my printer model in this document but I 
saw LQ300 i think it would be the same.

Thank you.

You may want to contact the manufacturer about this, but according to the 
reference manual below, the LQ-300+ does not support a thai character set. If 
Epson can confirm this, then you may want to use another printer.

Thank you for your reply.
My printer has thai language because when I shut down and open with press 
button(font). It was printed thai character (TIS-18).
I think my printer model LQ-300+II

Is the printer connected via USB or Parallel Port? Is it set up as a 
raw/generic printer on your system?

I connected with Parallel Port(LPT1).
now I try a ESCPCommands.
like this qz.append("\x1B\x28\x74\x03\x00\x1B\x74\x200\x20\x00");
It didn't work.

@t.phongphisut,

If your code requires \x00, you MUST use qz.appendHex(...).  This is because 
\x00 = NUL and JavaScript is a null-terminated-string language.

i.e. qz.appendHex("x1Bx28x74x03x00x1Bx74x20x20x00");

But I see another problem... x200 <------- Invalid hex?!

:)
