Android Question BL POS-printer- TSP143IIIBi GDI mode

[f0raster0]

Hi,

We have a printer Bluetooth TSP143IIIB able to print using its own App

Is there any option to print using the library "printing" ..or any idea how we could do it?
they have the library available for Android Studio

Thank you..

You need to write a java library to wrap their SDK to use it in B4A

You could always connect via Bluetooth and send the ESC codes direct through BT to print exactly what you want (depending on what you are trying to print), just check in the manual for the ESC codes and standard.

See my simple example here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...printer-with-matching-codepage.76831/#content

Thanks, our mPOS App works fine using the powerful small printer NT-5802LD
a video
sorry for the quality

but now we want to make the big printer work, we have just found that its configuration is star-graphic mode :-( trying to contact technical support to change the configuration to ESC/POS mode..

or maybe here someone knows about star-graphic mode?

Set it with the tool described in the PDF

thanks @DonManfred the printer doesn't have USB :-(

Maybe have to be done (changed to ESC/POS) from factory or I have to open the printer (it's not my printer)

the USB is only used as a charger to connect, for example a Tablet, and RJ12 for cash drawer

Based on their documentation it seems that your pronter only have this one emulation mode...

But you can try

 

[tigrot]

I have found this page https://www.joybuy.com/60620.html
they assert that native mode is ESC/POS.

@@DonManfred, yes that is true.. but here say:

EmulationStar Graphic Mode
Supports Star Line & ESC/POS™ Mode via futurePRNT software

Ok looking on your idea..

@tigrot I think our printer TSP143 should work in ESC/POS mode..(I hope )

 

[DonManfred]

I think our printer TSP143

In #1 you are talking about another Modelname!?

sorry my mistake.. checked again the model is TSP143IIIBi, series TSP100

ok, @DonManfred is right..

You need to write a java library to wrap their SDK to use it in B4A

the printer TSP143IIIBi is a GDI (graphic design interface),
can't be configurated inESC/POS mode.
