Dependencies - -In order to start getting access to your printer, you must ensure -you have previously installed the following python modules: - - * pyusb (python-usb) - * PIL (Python Image Library) - ------------------------------------------------------------------- -2. Description - -Python ESC/POS is a library which lets the user have access to all -those printers handled by ESC/POS commands, as defined by Epson, -from a Python application. - -The standard usage is send raw text to the printer, but in also -helps the user to enhance the experience with those printers by -facilitating the bar code printing in many different standards, -as well as manipulating images so they can be printed as brand -logo or any other usage images migh have. - -Text can be aligned/justified and fonts can be changed by size, -type and weight. - -Also, this module handles some hardware functionalities like, cut -paper, carrier return, printer reset and others concerned to the -carriage alignment. - ------------------------------------------------------------------- -3. Define your printer - -Before start create your Python ESC/POS printer instance, you must -see at your system for the printer parameters. This is done with -the 'lsusb' command. - -First run the command to look for the "Vendor ID" and "Product ID", -then write down the values, these values are displayed just before -the name of the device with the following format: - - xxxx:xxxx - -Example: - Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1a2b:1a2b Device name - -Write down the the values in question, then issue the following -command so you can get the "Interface" number and "End Point" - - lsusb -vvv -d xxxx:xxxx | grep iInterface - lsusb -vvv -d xxxx:xxxx | grep bEndpointAddress | grep OUT - -The first command will yields the "Interface" number that must -be handy to have and the second yields the "Output Endpoint" -address. - -By default the "Interface" number is "0" and the "Output Endpoint" -address is "0x82", if you have other values then you can define -with your instance. - ------------------------------------------------------------------- -4. Define your instance - -The following example shows how to initialize the Epson TM-TI88IV -*** NOTE: Always finish the sequence with Epson.cut() otherwise - you will endup with weird chars being printed. - - from escpos import * - - """ Seiko Epson Corp.
