ESC/POS URL-encoding
An ESC/POS printers get a stream of text embedding some „escape“ formatting code, following the ESC/POS „standard“ original defined by Epson. The problem is that ESC codes contains are also non printable chars. To URL-encode ESC/POS commands, Luis Blatta propose two solutions:
- DOLLAR_SIGN_ENCODING
ESC_POS_DATA is a string containing ESC/POS commands represented by $symbol$ specified by the following table:
$ Escape code Description $small$ small size $smallh$ small size with double hight $smallw$ small size with double width $smallhw$ small size with double hight and width $smallu$ small size underline $smalluh$ small size with double hight underline $smalluw$ small size with double width underline $smalluhw$ small size with double hight and width underline $big$ big size $bigh$ big size with double hight $bigw$ big size with double width $bighw$ big size with double hight and width $big$ big size, underline $bigh$ big size with double hight, underline $bigw$ big size with double width, underline $bighw$ big size with double hight and width, underline $cut$ cut the paper $drawer$ open the first drawer - DOT_ENCODING
This is a more versatile, complete solution for URL-encode any ESC/POS command: developer must represent each ‚non printable‘ char with a special encoding, enclosing the decimal representation of the code with special sign
▪(%C2%B7 URL-encoded), so by example- the char with decimal value 27 become ▪27▪,
- and ESC/POS escape sequence to cut the paper ‚ESC m‘, is equal to 1B6D in hexadecimal and is equal to 27 109 in decimal, become:
▪27▪▪109▪ - at least the complete string to cut the paper is:
▪27▪▪109▪▪13▪▪10▪
Print from your Android App (interactive user action)
Create your ESC data using the helpers Create an Android Intent using Add your ESC data as a “Data” extra Start the intent. You can be printing in minutes with just a couple lines of code. It’s as simple as creating your intent, adding your ESC formatted string and start the (service) intent.
Example:
String dataToPrint="$big$This is a printer test$intro$posprinterdriver.com$intro$$intro$$cut$$intro$";
Intent intentPrint = new Intent();
intentPrint.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intentPrint.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, dataToPrint);
intentPrint.setType("text/plain");
this.startActivity(intentPrint);
