Printing text right
-------------------
Python-escpos is designed to accept unicode. So make sure that you use ``u'strings'`` or import ``unicode_literals``
from ``__future__`` if you are on Python2. On Version 3 you should be fine.
For normal usage you can simply pass your text to the printers ``text()``-function. It will automatically guess
the right codepage and then send the encoded data to the printer. If this feature should not work, please try to
isolate the error and then create an issue.
I you want or need to you can manually set the codepage. For this please use the ``charcode()``-function. You can set
any key-value that is in ``CHARCODE``. If something is wrong, an ``CharCodeError`` will be raised.

by setting charcode to ``AUTO``.
