+2023-12-17 - Version 3.1 - "Rubric Of Ruin"
+-------------------------------------------
+This is the minor release of the new version 3.1.
+It adds a modification of the API of the qr-method,
+hence the minor release.
+
+changes
+^^^^^^^
+- extend API of the qr-method to allow passing image
+  parameters in non-native mode
+- use version 0.15 and upwards of python-barcode
+- fix an issue in the config provider that prevented
+  config files to be found when only a path was supplied
+- Improve type annotations, usage of six and other
+  packaging relevant parts.

+2023-11-17 - Version 3.0 - "Quietly Confident"
+----------------------------------------------
+This is the major release of the new version 3.0.
+A big thank you to @belono for their many contributions
+for the finalization of v3!
+
+The third major release of this library drops support for
+Python 2 and requires a Python version of at least 3.8.
+The API has been reworked to be more consistent and two
+new concepts have been introduced:
+
+`Capabilities` allow the library to know which features
+the currently used printer implements and send fitting
+commands.
+`Magic Encode` is a new feature that uses the
+capability information and encodes Unicode automatically
+with the correct code page while sending also the
+code page change commands.
+
+The license of the project has been changed to MIT
+in accordance with its contributors.
+
+The changes listed here are a summary of the changes
+of the previous alpha releases. For details please
+read the changelog of the alpha releases.
+
+
+changes
+^^^^^^^
+- change the project's license to MIT in accordance with the contributors (see python-escpos/python-escpos#171)
+- feature: add "capabilities" which are shared with escpos-php, capabilities are stored in
+  `escpos-printer-db <https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db>`_
+- feature: the driver tries now to guess the appropriate code page and sets it automatically (called "magic encode")
+- as an alternative you can force the code page with the old API
+- fix the encoding search so that lower encodings are found first
+- automatically handle cases where full cut or partial cut is not available
+- refactor of the set-method
+- preliminary support of POS "line display" printing
+- add support for software-based barcode-rendering
+- make feed for cut optional
+- implemented paper sensor querying command
+- Include support for CUPS based printer interfaces
+- add Win32Raw-Printer on Windows-platforms
+- add and improve Windows support of USB-class
+- pickle capabilities for faster startup

+
+This project is open to any kind of contribution.
+You can help with improving the documentation, adding fixes to the
+code, providing test cases in code or as a description or just
+spreading the word.
+Please feel free to create an issue or pull request.
+In order to reduce the amount of work for everyone please try
+to adhere to good practice.
+
+The pull requests and issues will be prefilled with templates.
+Please fill in your information where applicable.
+
+This project uses `semantic versioning <https://semver.org/>`_
+and tries to adhere to the proposed rules as well as possible.
+
+Author-list
+-----------
+
+This project keeps a list of authors.
+This can be auto-generated by calling `./doc/generate-authors.sh`.
+When contributing the first time, please include a commit with
+the output of this script in place.
+
+When you change your username or mail-address, please also
+update the `.mailmap` and the authors-list.
+You can find a good documentation on the mapping-feature in the
+`documentation of git-shortlog <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-shortlog#_mapping_authors>`_.
+
+Style-Guide
+-----------
+
+When writing code please try to stick to these rules.
+
+Black Code Style
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+This project is formatted with the auto formatter `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_.
+Please format your contributions with black, otherwise they will be rejected.
+
+GIT
+^^^
+The master-branch contains the main development of the project.
+A release to PyPi is marked with a tag corresponding to the version.
+Issues are closed when they have been resolved by merging
+into the master-branch.
+When you have a change to make, begin by creating a new branch
+from the HEAD of `python-escpos/master`.
+
+Please try to group your commits into logical units.
+If you need to tidy up your branch, you can make use of a
+git feature called an 'interactive rebase' before making a pull request.
+A small, self-contained change-set is easier to review, and
+improves the chance of your code being merged.
+Please also make sure that before creating your PR, your branch
+is rebased on a recent commit or you merged a recent
+commit into your branch.
+This way you can ensure that your PR is without merge conflicts.
+
+Docstrings
+^^^^^^^^^^
+This project tries to have a good documentation.
+Please add a docstring to every method and class.
+Have a look at existing methods and classes for the style.
+We use basically standard rst-docstrings for Sphinx.
+
+Test

-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
-
- Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-                            Preamble
-
-  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
-software and other kinds of works.
-
-  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
-to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
-the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
-share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
-software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
-GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
-any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
-want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
-these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
-certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
-you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
-freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
-or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
-know their rights.
-
-  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
-(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
-giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
-
-  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
-that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
-authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
-changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
-authors of previous versions.
-
-  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
-modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
-can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
-protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
-pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
-use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
-have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
-products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
-stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
-of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
-
-  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
-States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
-software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
-avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
-make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
-patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-  0. Definitions.
-
-  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
-  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
-works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
-  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
-"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-
-  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
-exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
-earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-
-  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-on the Program.
-
-  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
-permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
-distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
-  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
-a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
-  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
-to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
-the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
-  1. Source Code.
-
-  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
-for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
-form of a work.
-
-  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
-standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
-  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
-than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
-"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
-(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
-  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
-the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
-System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
-includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
-  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
-can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
-Source.
-
-  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
-same work.
-
-  2. Basic Permissions.
-
-  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
-covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
-rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
-  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
-convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
-in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
-of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
-with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
-the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
-not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
-for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
-and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
-your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
-  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
-the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-makes it unnecessary.
-
-  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
-  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-measures.
-
-  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
-is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
-the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
-modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
-users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
-technological measures.
-
-  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
-  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
-  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
-  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
-  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
-    it, and giving a relevant date.
-
-    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
-    released under this License and any conditions added under section
-    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
-    "keep intact all notices".
-
-    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
-    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
-    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
-    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
-    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
-    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
-    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
-    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
-    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
-    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
-    work need not make them do so.
-
-  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
-in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-parts of the aggregate.
-
-  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
-  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
-of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
-machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
-in one of these ways:
-
-    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
-    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
-    customarily used for software interchange.
-
-    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
-    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
-    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
-    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
-    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
-    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
-    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
-    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
-    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
-    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
-    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
-    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
-    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
-    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
-    with subsection 6b.
-
-    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
-    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
-    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
-    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
-    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
-    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
-    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
-    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
-    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
-    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
-    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
-    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
-    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
-    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
-    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
-    charge under subsection 6d.
-
-  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-included in conveying the object code work.
-
-  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
-product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
-is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
-  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
-and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
-a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
-suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
-code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
-modification has been made.
-
-  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
-if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-been installed in ROM).
-
-  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
-for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
-the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
-network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
-adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
-protocols for communication across the network.
-
-  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-unpacking, reading or copying.
-
-  7. Additional Terms.
-
-  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
-License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
-apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
-  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
-additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
-that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
-    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
-    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
-    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
-    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
-    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-
-    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
-    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
-    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
-    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
-    authors of the material; or
-
-    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
-    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
-    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
-    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
-    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
-    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
-    those licensors and authors.
-
-  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
-restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
-received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
-a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
-  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-where to find the applicable terms.
-
-  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
-the above requirements apply either way.
-
-  8. Termination.
-
-  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-paragraph of section 11).
-
-  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
-license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
-provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
-finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
-holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
-prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
-  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-your receipt of the notice.
-
-  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-material under section 10.
-
-  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
-  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
-run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
-nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
-not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
-  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
-  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
-for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
-  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
-organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
-work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
-  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
-not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
-  11. Patents.
-
-  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
-work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
-  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
-owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
-purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
-patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-this License.
-
-  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
-  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
-agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
-party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-patent against the party.
-
-  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
-actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
-covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
-in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
-country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
-  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
-work and works based on it.
-
-  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
-the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
-conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
-specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
-work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
-in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
-to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
-the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
-parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
-patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
-conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
-for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
-contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
-or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
-
-  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
-any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
-otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-
-  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
-  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
-covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
-not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
-to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
-the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
-License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
-
-  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
-permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
-under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
-combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
-License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
-but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
-section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
-combination as such.
-
-  14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
-  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
-Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
-Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
-option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
-version or of any later version published by the Free Software
-Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
-GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
-by the Free Software Foundation.
-
-  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
-versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
-public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
-to choose that version for the Program.
-
-  Later license versions may give you additional or different
-permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
-author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
-later version.
-
-  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
-  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
-APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
-HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
-OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
-THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
-IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
-ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  16. Limitation of Liability.
-
-  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
-THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
-GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
-USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
-DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
-PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
-EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
-SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-
-  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
-above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
-reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
-an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
-Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
-copy of the Program in return for a fee.
-
-                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
-    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-
-    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
-    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
-    (at your option) any later version.
-
-    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
-    GNU General Public License for more details.
-
-    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
-    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
-notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
-    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
-    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
-might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
-
-  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
-if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
-For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
-<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
-
-  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
-into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
-may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
-the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
-Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
-<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.

 =============
 
-Ensure the library is installed on ${lib_arch}/${python_ver}/site-packages/escpos
+This library is available over pypi. So for most of the use-cases it should be sufficient to run
 
-On CLi you must run:
-# python setup.py build
-# sudo python setup.py install
+```
+pip install python-escpos[all] --user  # add --pre if you want to install pre-releases
+```
 
-On Linux, ensure you belongs to the proper group so you can have access to the printer.
-This can be done, by adding yourself to 'dialout' group, this might require to re-login
-so the changes make effect.
-
-Then, add the following rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-escpos.rules
-SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0202", MODE="0664", GROUP="dialout"
-
-and restar udev rules.
-# sudo service udev restart
-
-Enjoy !!!
-And please, don't forget to ALWAYS add Epson.cut() at the end of your printing :)

-======
-
-Python library to manipulate ESC/POS Printers.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-1. 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. Receipt Printer M129 Definitions (EPSON TM-T88IV) """
-  Epson = escpos.Escpos(0x04b8,0x0202)
-  Epson.text("Hello World")
-  Epson.image("logo.gif")
-  Epson.barcode
-  Epson.barcode('1324354657687','EAN13',64,2,'','')
-  Epson.cut()
-

+python-escpos - Python library to manipulate ESC/POS Printers
+#############################################################
+
+Description
+===========
+
+.. image:: https://readthedocs.org/projects/python-escpos/badge/?version=latest
+    :target: https://python-escpos.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest
+    :alt: Documentation Status
+
+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 library tries to implement the functions provided by the ESC/POS-command-set and supports sending text, images,
+barcodes and qr-codes to the printer.
+
+Text can be aligned/justified and fonts can be changed by size, type and weight.
+
+Also, this module handles some hardware functionalities like cutting paper, control characters, printer reset
+and similar functions.
+
+Since supported commands differ from printer to printer the software tries to automatically apply the right
+settings for the printer that you set. These settings are handled by
+`escpos-printer-db <https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db>`_ which is also used in
+`escpos-php <https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php>`_.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+This library makes use of:
+

+
+Documentation and Usage
+-----------------------
+
+The basic usage is:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from escpos.printer import Usb
+
+    """ Seiko Epson Corp. Receipt Printer (EPSON TM-T88III) """
+    p = Usb(0x04b8, 0x0202, 0, profile="TM-T88III")
+    p.text("Hello World\n")
+    p.image("logo.gif")
+    p.barcode('4006381333931', 'EAN13', 64, 2, '', '')
+    p.cut()
+
+
+Another example based on the Network printer class:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from escpos.printer import Network
+
+    kitchen = Network("192.168.1.100", profile="TM-T88III") #Printer IP Address
+    kitchen.text("Hello World\n")
+    kitchen.barcode('4006381333931', 'EAN13', 64, 2, '', '')
+    kitchen.cut()
+
+Another example based on the Serial printer class:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from escpos.printer import Serial
+
+    """ 9600 Baud, 8N1, Flow Control Enabled """
+    p = Serial(
+        devfile='/dev/tty.usbserial',
+        baudrate=9600,
+        bytesize=8,
+        parity='N',
+        stopbits=1,
+        timeout=1.00,
+        dsrdtr=True,
+        profile="TM-T88III"
+    )
+
+    p.text("Hello World\n")
+    p.qr("You can readme from your smartphone")
+    p.cut()
+
+.. note:: It is highly recommended to include a matching profile to inform python-escpos about the printer's capabilities.

+Capabilities
+------------
+:Last Reviewed: 2023-08-10
+
+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
+for information on how to side-load another `capabilities`-database:
+:ref:`advanced-usage-change-capabilities-profile`.

+Printing Barcodes
+-----------------
+
+:Last Reviewed: 2023-08-10
+
+Many printers implement barcode printing natively.
+These hardware rendered barcodes are fast but the supported
+formats are limited by the printer itself and different between models.
+However, almost all printers support printing images, so barcode
+rendering can be performed externally by software and then sent
+to the printer as an image.
+As a drawback, this operation is much slower and the user needs
+to know and choose the image implementation method supported by
+the printer's command-set.
+
+barcode-method
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Since version 3.0, the ``barcode`` method unifies the previous
+``barcode`` (hardware) and ``soft_barcode`` (software) methods.
+It is able to choose automatically the best printer implementation
+for barcode printing based on the capabilities of the printer
+and the type of barcode desired.
+To achieve this, it relies on the information contained in the
+escpos-printer-db profiles.
+The chosen profile needs to match the capabilities of the printer
+as closely as possible.
+
+.. py:currentmodule:: escpos.escpos
+
+.. automethod:: Escpos.barcode
+    :noindex:
+
+CODE128
+~~~~~~~
+Code128 barcodes need a certain format.
+For now the user has to make sure that the payload is correct.
+For alphanumeric CODE128 you have to preface your payload with `{B`.
+
+.. code-block:: Python
+
+   from escpos.printer import Dummy, Serial
+   p = Serial()
+   # print CODE128 012ABCDabcd
+   p.barcode("{B012ABCDabcd", "CODE128", function_type="B")

+Installation
+============
+
+:Last Reviewed: 2023-08-10
+
+Installation with PIP
+---------------------
+Installation should be rather straight-forward. python-escpos is on PyPi,
+so you can simply enter:
+
+    ::
+
+        pip install python-escpos[all]
+
+This should install all necessary dependencies. Apart from that
+python-escpos is for some versions also available as a Debian package.
+If you want to always benefit from the newest stable releases you should
+always install from PyPi.
+If you use the ``--pre`` parameter for ``pip``, you will get the latest
+pre-release.
+
+The following installation options exist:
+
+ * `all`: install all packages available for this platform
+ * `usb`: install packages required for USB printers
+ * `serial`: install packages required for serial printers
+ * `win32`: install packages required for win32 printing (only Windows)
+ * `cups`: install packages required for CUPS printing
+
+Other installation methods
+--------------------------
+Officially, no other installation methods are supplied.
+
+If you want to install nevertheless from another source,
+please make sure that you have received the correct package
+and that the capabilities data is properly integrated.
+When packaging from source please read the developer
+information in :ref:`developer-manual-repository`.
+
+If your packaging method breaks the resource system from setuptools,
+it might be necessary to supply the path to the capabilities file:
+:ref:`advanced-usage-change-capabilities-profile`.
+
+Setup udev for USB-Printers
+---------------------------
+1. Get the *Product ID* and *Vendor ID* from the lsusb command
+   ``# lsusb  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1a2b:1a2b Device name``.
+   (Or whichever way your system supplies to get the PID and VID.)
+
+2. Create a udev rule to let users belonging to *dialout* group use the
+   printer. You can create the file
+   ``/etc/udev/rules.d/99-escpos.rules`` and add the following:
+   ``SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a2b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1a2b", MODE="0664", GROUP="dialout"``
+   Replace *idVendor* and *idProduct* hex numbers with the ones that you
+   got from the previous step. Note that you can either, add yourself to
+   "dialout" group, or use another group you already belongs instead
+   "dialout" and set it in the ``GROUP`` parameter in the above rule.
+
+3. Restart udev ``# sudo service udev restart`` In some new systems it
+   is done with ``# sudo udevadm control --reload``
+
+Enabling tab-completion in CLI
+------------------------------
+python-escpos has a CLI with tab-completion.
+This is realized with ``argcomplete``.
+In order for this to work you have to enable tab-completion, which is described in
+the `manual of argcomplete <https://argcomplete.readthedocs.io>`__.
+
+If you only want to enable it for python-escpos, or global activation does not work, try this:
+
+    ::
+
+        eval "$(register-python-argcomplete python-escpos)"

+
+Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Problems with a network-attached printer can have numerous causes.
+Make sure that your device has a proper IP address.
+Often you can check the IP address by triggering the self-test of the device.
+As a next step try to send text manually to the device.
+You could use for example:
+
+    ::
+
+            echo "OK\n" | nc IPADDRESS 9100
+            # the port number is often 9100
+
+As a last resort try to reset the interface of the printer.
+This should be described in its manual.

+Usage
+=====
+
+:Last Reviewed: 2025-02-16
+
+Define your printer
+-------------------
+
+USB printer
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Before creating your Python ESC/POS printer instance, consult the system to obtain
+the printer parameters. This is done with the 'lsusb' command.
+
+Run the command and look for the "Vendor ID" and "Product ID" and write
+down the values. These values are displayed just before the name
+of the device with the following format:
+
+::
+
+    xxxx:xxxx
+
+Example:
+
+::
+
+    # lsusb
+    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 04b8:0202 Epson ...
+
+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
+        iInterface              0
+    # lsusb -vvv -d xxxx:xxxx | grep bEndpointAddress | grep OUT
+          bEndpointAddress     0x01  EP 1 OUT
+
+The first command will yield the "Interface" number that must be handy
+to have and the second yields the "Output Endpoint" address.
+
+**USB Printer initialization**
+
+::
+
+    p = printer.Usb(0x04b8,0x0202)
+
+By default the "Interface" number is "0" and the "Output Endpoint"
+address is "0x01". If you have other values then you can define them on
+your instance. So, assuming that we have another printer, CT-S2000,
+manufactured by Citizen (with "Vendor ID" of 2730 and "Product ID" of 0fff)
+where in\_ep is on 0x81 and out\_ep=0x02, then the printer definition should
+look like:
+
+**Generic USB Printer initialization**
+
+::
+
+    p = printer.Usb(0x2730, 0x0fff, 0, 0x81, 0x02)
+
+Network printer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You only need the IP of your printer, either because it is getting its
+IP by DHCP or you set it manually.
+
+**Network Printer initialization**
+
+::
+
+    p = printer.Network("192.168.1.99")
+
+Serial printer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Most of the default values set by the DIP switches for the serial
+printers, have been set as default on the serial printer class, so the
+only thing you need to know is which serial port the printer is connected
+to.
+
+**Serial printer initialization**
+
+::
+
+    p = printer.Serial("/dev/tty0")
+
+    # on a Windows OS serial devices are typically accessible as COM
+    p = printer.Serial("COM1")
+
+Other printers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some printers under `/dev` can't be used or initialized with any of the
+methods described above. Usually, those are printers used by printcap,
+however, if you know the device name, you could try to initialize by
+passing the device node name.
+
+::
+
+    p = printer.File("/dev/usb/lp1")
+
+The default is "/dev/usb/lp0", so if the printer is located on that
+node, then you don't necessary need to pass the node name.
+
+Define your instance
+--------------------
+
+The following example demonstrates how to initialize the Epson TM-TI88IV
+on a USB interface.
+
+::
+
+    from escpos import *
+    """ Seiko Epson Corp. Receipt Printer M129 Definitions (EPSON TM-T88IV) """
+    p = printer.Usb(0x04b8,0x0202, profile="TM-T88IV")
+    # Print text
+    p.text("Hello World\n")
+    # Print image
+    p.image("logo.gif")
+    # Print QR Code
+    p.qr("You can readme from your smartphone")
+    # Print barcode
+    p.barcode('4006381333931','EAN13',64,2,'','')
+    # Cut paper
+    p.cut()
+
+Standard python constraints on libraries apply. This means especially
+that you should not name the script in which you implement these lines
+should not be named ``escpos`` as this would collide with the name of
+the library.
+
+Configuration File
+------------------
+
+You can create a configuration file for python-escpos. This will
+allow you to use the CLI, and skip some setup when using the library
+programmatically.
+
+The default configuration file is named ``config.yaml`` and uses the YAML
+format. For windows it is probably at::
+
+    %appdata%/python-escpos/config.yaml
+
+And for Linux::
+
+    $HOME/.config/python-escpos/config.yaml
+
+If you are not sure, run::
+
+    from escpos import config
+    c = config.Config()
+    c.load()
+
+If it can't find the configuration file in the default location, it will tell
+you where it's looking. You can always pass a path, or a list of paths, to
+the ``load()`` method.
+
+To load the configured printer, run::
+
+    from escpos import config
+    c = config.Config()
+    printer = c.printer()
+
+
+The printer section
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``printer`` configuration section defines a default printer to create.
+
+The only required parameter is ``type``. The value of this has to be one of the
+printers defined in :doc:`/user/printers`.
+
+The rest of the given parameters will be passed on to the initialization of the printer class.
+Use these to overwrite the default values as specified in :doc:`/user/printers`.
+This implies that the parameters have to match the parameter-names of the respective printer class.
+
+An example file printer::
+
+    printer:
+            type: File
+            devfile: /dev/someprinter
+            profile: TM-U220
+
+And for a network printer::
+
+    printer:
+            type: Network
+            host: 127.0.0.1
+            port: 9000
+            profile: TM-U220
+
+An USB-printer could be defined by::
+
+    printer:
+            type: Usb
+            idVendor: 0x1234
+            idProduct: 0x5678
+            in_ep: 0x66
+            out_ep: 0x01
+            profile: TM-U220
+
+Printing text right
+-------------------
+
+Python-escpos is designed to accept Unicode.
+
+For normal usage you can simply pass your text to the printers ``text()``-function. It will automatically guess
+the right code page and then send the encoded data to the printer. If this feature does not work, please try to
+isolate the error and then create an issue on the GitHub project page.
+
+If you want or need to you can manually set the code page.
+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.
+After you have manually set the code page the printer won't change it anymore.
+You can revert to normal behavior by setting charcode to ``AUTO``.
+
+Resolving bus timeout issues during printing images
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If an error message such as "USBTimeoutError: [Errno 110] Operation timed out" occurs,
+setting a sleep time between printing fragments can help.
+
+This can be done with the :meth:`.set_sleep_in_fragment()` method.
+
+Advanced Usage: Print from binary blob
+--------------------------------------
+
+Imagine you have a file with ESC/POS-commands in binary form. This could be useful for testing capabilities of your
+printer with a known working combination of commands.
+You can print this data with the following code, using the standard methods of python-escpos. (This is an
+advantage of the fact that `_raw()` accepts binary strings.)
+
+::
+
+    from escpos import printer
+    p = printer.Serial()  # adapt this to your printer model
+
+    file = open("binary-blob.bin", "rb")  # read in the file containing your commands in binary-mode
+    data = file.read()
+    file.close()
+
+    p._raw(data)
+
+That's all, the printer should then print your data. You can also use this technique to let others reproduce an issue
+that you have found. (Just "print" your commands to a File-printer on your local file system.)
+However, please keep in mind, that often it is easier and better to just supply the code that you are using.
+
+Here you can download an example, that will print a set of common barcodes:
+
+    * :download:`barcode.bin </download/barcode.bin>` by `@mike42 <https://github.com/mike42>`_
+
+.. _advanced-usage-change-capabilities-profile:
+
+Advanced Usage: change where is the capabilities-profile
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Packaged together with the escpos-code is a capabilities-file. This file in
+JSON-format describes the capabilities of different printers. It is developed and hosted in
+`escpos-printer-db <https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db>`_.
+
+Certain applications like the usage of `cx_freeze <https://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io>`_ might change the
+packaging structure. This leads to the capabilities-profile not being found.
+In this case you can use the environment-variable `ESCPOS_CAPABILITIES_FILE`.
+The following code is an example.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # use packaged capabilities-profile
+   python-escpos cut
+
+   # use capabilities-profile that you have put in /usr/python-escpos
+   export ESCPOS_CAPABILITIES_FILE=/usr/python-escpos/capabilities.json
+   python-escpos cut
+
+   # use packaged file again
+   unset ESCPOS_CAPABILITIES_FILE
+   python-escpos cut
+
+
+Hint: preprocess printing
+-------------------------
+
+Printing images directly to the printer is rather slow.
+One factor that slows down the process is the transmission over e.g. serial port.
+
+Apart from configuring your printer to use the maximum baudrate (in the case of serial-printers), there is not much
+that you can do.
+However you could use the :py:class:`escpos.printer.Dummy`-printer to preprocess your image.
+This is probably best explained by an example:
+
+.. code-block:: Python
+
+   from escpos.printer import Serial, Dummy
+
+   p = Serial()
+   d = Dummy()
+
+   # create ESC/POS for the print job, this should go really fast
+   d.text("This is my image:\n")
+   d.image("funny_cat.png")
+   d.cut()
+
+   # send code to printer
+   p._raw(d.output)
+
+This way you could also store the code in a file and print it later.
+You could then for example print the code from another process than your main-program and thus reduce the waiting time.
+(Of course this will not make the printer print faster.)
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+This section gathers various hints on troubleshooting.
+
+Print with STAR TSP100 family
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Printer of the STAR TSP100 family do not have a native ESC/POS mode, which
+is why you will not be able to directly print with this library to the printer.
