************ Raspberry Pi ************ :Last Reviewed: 2017-01-05 This instructions were tested on Raspbian Jessie. .. warning:: You should **never** directly connect an printer with RS232-interface (serial port) directly to a Raspberry PI or similar interface (e.g. those simple USB-sticks without encasing). Those interfaces are based on 5V- or 3,3V-logic (the latter in the case of Raspberry PI). Classical RS232 uses 12V-logic and would **thus destroy your interface**. Connect both systems with an appropriate *level shifter*. Dependencies ------------ First, install the packages available on Raspbian. :: sudo apt-get install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip libjpeg8-dev Installation ------------ You can install by using pip3. :: sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip sudo pip3 install python-escpos Run --- You need sudo and python3 to run your program. :: sudo python3 your-program.py Now you can attach your printer and and test it with the example code in the project's set of examples. You can find that in the `project-repository `__. For more details on this check the :doc:`installation-manual `.
