Since the used command set often differs between printers,
|
|
|
|
|
a model for supporting different printers is implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
This feature is called `capabilities`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `capabilities`-feature allows this library to know
|
|
|
|
|
which features are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
If no further information is specified, python-escpos will
|
|
|
|
|
try to automatically use features based on the supplied information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use the `capabilities`-database, the printer instance
|
|
|
|
|
simply has to be created with the parameter `profile` set to the
|
|
|
|
|
relevant identifier.
|
|
|
|
|
The identifier can be found in :ref:`available-profiles`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This documentation describes the profiles in the database file that
|
|
|
|
|
is bundled with this release.
|
|
|
|
|
If another configuration is to be used, this chapter can be followed
