|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
* `pyusb <https://github.com/walac/pyusb>`_ for USB-printers
|
|
* `Pillow <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow>`_ for image printing
|
|
* `qrcode <https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode>`_ for the generation of QR-codes
|
|
* `pyserial <https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial>`_ for serial printers
|
|
* `python-barcode <https://github.com/WhyNotHugo/python-barcode>`_ for the generation of barcodes
|

|
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") #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)
|
|
|
|
p.text("Hello World\n")
|
|
p.qr("You can readme from your smartphone")
|
|
p.cut()
|
|
|
|
|
|
