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 library tries to implement the functions provided by the ESC/POS-commandset 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.
Dependencies
------------
This library makes use of:
* pyusb for USB-printers
* Pillow for image printing
* qrcode for the generation of QR-codes
* pyserial for serial printers
Documentation and Usage
-----------------------
The basic usage is:
.. code:: python
from escpos import *
""" Seiko Epson Corp. Receipt Printer M129 Definitions (EPSON TM-T88IV) """
Epson = escpos.Escpos(0x04b8,0x0202,0)
Epson.text("Hello World\n")
Epson.image("logo.gif")
Epson.barcode('1324354657687','EAN13',64,2,'','')
Epson.cut()
