Add Function to Dummy Printer for Clearing Buffer
If you are using the dummy printer, you may want to use the printer
again after sending the output to a physical printer.
This method empties the list of the output buffer.
When executing a tox-run a pickle file will be created. If the docs are
built after the py3 task, it will fail due to incompatible
pickle-protocols.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/25843743/4244236 for reference.
* add a method to check barcode code format
ensure that the code to print is compatible with the ESC/POS formats and
also automatically check this format before printing (barcode() method).
* rewrite test using pytest's parametrize functionality
* add test for the 'check' argument
* update authors list
The feature use_coverage of hypothesis caused the failing tests, because
the printer_file_test is sensitive to the coverage analysis of
hypothesis.
Fixed by disabling use_coverage for the crashing tests
hypothesis introduced a regression in 3.29.0 (or at least changed
behaviour). Until I have found the problem I will pin it to the last
working version.
Also two tests should be prevented from failing when they are slow.
This was tested on ZJ-5890 with success. By default centering is
deactivated for backward compatibility. Trying to center a QR code in
native mode will raise an exception as we do not know ATM if the native
rendering is centered by default or not.
* Added basic tests for center feature
* Check image size before centering
On a RaspberryPi it's taking 10 seconds to simply run:
import escpos.printer
This change creates a pickle file that will load 20x faster. The
rationale is that the capabilities.json file doesn't change too often.
Also changed some imports for PEP8.
* Example Weather forecast script
Used Adafruits example as base and adapted it for python-escpos
Weather icons taken from

* Weather Icons from Adam Whitcroft
Weather Icons from http://adamwhitcroft.com/climacons/
* update authors
* Minor improvements
* Weather Script Debugged
Added one more Icon
Attributed Icons in readme.md
changed folder structure
* Change formatting
* Fixed pathing to graphics issue
* fixed image size
* autopep8 to clean up the code
The DLE EOT command allows querying the status of several features of
the printer.
Added to the online/offline status developed in #237, this commit adds a
paper sensor querying.
Tested with an Epson TM-T20II, which only has an end-paper sensor. The
near-end paper sensor should be tested with a compatible printer.
However, the implementation is quite straight-forward.
The changes done in this commit should help with the open issues:
#5, #27 and #161.
The old implementation lacked the NUL char at the end of the command, as
defined on the Epson ESC/POS Reference Guide (see
https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=53
). Also, the horizontal tab control character (CTL_HT) shouldn't be
there.
This implementation allows setting up to 32 tabs with a given tab width.
Both values are checked to be in the valid ranges defined on the guide.
Also, the TabPosError exception text has been rewritten to define the
stated above.
* Ensure QR codes have a border large enough
(The QR code spec requires a border at least 4*box_size thick but we can't
just set border=16 because that results in a QR code more than 255px tall
and I'm not yet ready to use fullimage() as a backend for it)
This fix was originally commited by Stephan Sokolow on 2014-05-22
* Let the user print stuff using qr example
* fix tests
* Added the DLE EOT querying command.
Added a function to check whether the printer is online or not, as well
as a reading method for USB printers.
* Update AUTHORS
* Add entry to .mailmap
* currently USB only
