Android version

Minimum SDK Version 16 Android 4.1 and above are supported.

Tested printers

  1. EPSON TM-T88VI (121): SERIAL, USB, ETHERNET (Tested over Network/Ethernet 📶)
  2. EPSON TM-T20 SERIES (Tested over USB 🔌)
  3. Sewoo LK-P41 (Bluetooth Printer)
  4. OmniLink® TM-m50 POS Thermal Receipt Printer (Tested over Wifi)

Test it !

To test this library, it's very simple.

  • Create a directory and open a terminal inside
  • Run git clone https://github.com/EmHaseeb/ThermalPrinterESCPOS.git .
  • Open the directory with Android Studio
  • Test it

Installation

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file. Add it in your root /build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency in /app/build.gradle :

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.EmHaseeb:ThermalPrinterESCPOS:1.0.2'
}

Bluetooth

Bluetooth permission

Be sure to have <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />, <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />, <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" />, <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" /> in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Also, you have to check the bluetooth permission in your app like this :

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.S && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH}, MainActivity.PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH);
} else if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.S && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN}, MainActivity.PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH_ADMIN);
} else if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.S && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT}, MainActivity.PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH_CONNECT);
} else if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.S && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN}, MainActivity.PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH_SCAN);
} else {
    // Your code HERE
}

                } 
            }
        }).start();

USB

USB permission

Be sure to have <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" /> in your AndroidMenifest.xml.

You have to check the USB permission in your app like this :

private static final String ACTION_USB_PERMISSION = "com.android.example.USB_PERMISSION";
private final BroadcastReceiver usbReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        if (MainActivity.ACTION_USB_PERMISSION.equals(action)) {
            synchronized (this) {
                UsbManager usbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
                UsbDevice usbDevice = (UsbDevice) intent.getParcelableExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_DEVICE);
                if (intent.getBooleanExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_PERMISSION_GRANTED, false)) {
                    if (usbManager != null && usbDevice != null) {
                        // YOUR PRINT CODE HERE
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
};

public void printUsb() {
    UsbConnection usbConnection = UsbPrintersConnections.selectFirstConnected(this);
    UsbManager usbManager = (UsbManager) this.getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
    if (usbConnection != null && usbManager != null) {
        PendingIntent permissionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
            this,
            0,
            new Intent(MainActivity.ACTION_USB_PERMISSION),
            android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.S ? PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE : 0
        );
        IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(MainActivity.ACTION_USB_PERMISSION);
        registerReceiver(this.usbReceiver, filter);
        usbManager.requestPermission(usbConnection.getDevice(), permissionIntent);
    }
}

The code below is an example to write in your activity :

 try {
            EscPosPrinter printer = new EscPosPrinter(new UsbConnection(usbManager, usbDevice), 203, 65f, 42);

            printer.disconnectPrinter();
        } catch (EscPosConnectionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Below a picture of the receipt printed with the code above :

Example of a printed receipt

Characterset encoding

To change charset encoding of the printer, use EscPosCharsetEncoding class :

EscPosPrinter printer = new EscPosPrinter(deviceConnection, 203, 48f, 32, new EscPosCharsetEncoding("windows-1252", 16));

escPosCharsetId may change with printer model. Follow this link to find escPosCharsetId that works with many printers

Formatted text : syntax guide

New line

Use \n to create a new line of text.

Text alignment and column separation

Add an alignment tag on a same line of text implicitly create a new column.

Column alignment tags :

  • [L] : left side alignment
  • [C] : center alignment
  • [R] : right side alignment

Example :

  • [L]Some text : One column aligned to left
  • [C]Some text : One column aligned to center
  • [R]Some text : One column aligned to right
  • [L]Some text[L]Some other text : Two columns aligned to left. Some other text starts in the center of the paper.
  • [L]Some text[R]Some other text : Two columns, first aligned to left, second aligned to right. Some other text is printed at the right of paper.
  • [L]Some[R]text[R]here : Three columns.
  • [L][R]text[R]here : Three columns. The first is empty but it takes a third of the available space.

Font

Size

<font></font> tag allows you to change the font size and color. Default size is normal / black.

  • <font size='normal'>Some text</font> : Normal size

  • <font size='wide'>Some text</font> : Double width of medium size

  • <font size='tall'>Some text</font> : Double height of medium size

  • <font size='big'>Some text</font> : Double width and height of medium size

  • <font size='big-2'>Some text</font> : 3 x width and height

  • <font size='big-3'>Some text</font> : 4 x width and height

  • <font size='big-4'>Some text</font> : 5 x width and height

  • <font size='big-5'>Some text</font> : 6 x width and height

  • <font size='big-6'>Some text</font> : 7 x width and height

  • <font color='black'>Some text</font> : black text - white background

  • <font color='bg-black'>Some text</font> : white text - black background

  • <font color='red'>Some text</font> : red text - white background (Not working on all printer)

  • <font color='bg-red'>Some text</font> : white text - red background (Not working on all printer)

Bold

<b></b> tag allows you to change the font weight.

  • <b>Some text</b>

Underline

<u></u> tag allows you to underline the text.

  • <u>Some text</u> text underlined
  • <u type='double'>Some text</u> text double-strike (Not working on all printer)

Image

<img></img> tag allows you to print image. Inside the tag you need to write a hexadecimal string of an image.

Use PrinterTextParserImg.bitmapToHexadecimalString to convert Drawable, BitmapDrawable or Bitmap to hexadecimal string.

  • <img>hexadecimal string of an image</img>

⚠ WARNING ⚠ : This tag has several constraints :

  • A line that contains <img></img> can have only one alignment tag and it must be at the beginning of the line.
  • <img> must be directly preceded by nothing or an alignment tag ([L][C][R]).
  • </img> must be directly followed by a new line \n.
  • You can't write text on a line that contains <img></img>.
  • Maximum height of printed image is 256px, If you want to print larger bitmap.

Barcode

<barcode></barcode> tag allows you to print a barcode. Inside the tag you need to write the code number to print.

  • <barcode>451278452159</barcode> : (12 numbers)
