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);

Examples
