Hi, a customer has some portable bluetooth printers that only print English and Chinese characters.

I need to print these characters:
á é í ó ú Á É Í Ó Ú ñ Ñ ç Ç €
Click to expand...

The printers are ESC/POS compatible, but the characters are "cut out" in all the codepages and there are no characters from other languages.

I made a question to the manufacturer and he has indicated that I must use the graphic mode to get these characters to print.
Can anyone explain to me how to do this?
Thank you very much.

I have again asked the printer manufacturer to explain in more detail this issue of characters in other languages and they have replied:
Sorry, this model of receipt printer does not support other languages. English only.

The previous P10 model is multi lenguaje. I have spoken with my contact in China with whom we see other models. and he has told me the same thing about the model that you have.

The only way to print Latin on this model is PDF to Image or Image

but my contact tells me that if you are a distributor or buyer of large quantities, they can give you a firmware with the languages you want, that is, it is an OEM order

I agree, it is resisting hard ? and almost as disappointing as the current Australia v. England cricket situation ?

So the backup plans are:

B/ replicate whatever you did to print the characters per Star-Dust's help
C/ user-defined characters
D/ print as image (from a label snapshot, or text rendered to a bitmap)

Which way are you leaning?




Previous near-successes, using image and using different code pages:

That's how it works
Although now I will have to adapt my software to print images when using this type of printer.

Well, here is the proof you have indicated.
You see lowercase accented vowels and the euro symbol.
The accented uppercase vowels and the ñÑ are not there.

And here I have printed the entire character set, from 33 to 255:

I am thinking of using an alternative to a "label" that allows various sizes of letters, and then I can send it to an image for printing.
It would be a kind of "RichEdit".

Option (D) I believe will be the alternative.
This printer doesn't allow to redefine characters either, big surprise!
