Japanese Character Print

[ghost]

@DantSu

Hi, This is my second issue. I need to print Japanese characters. My printer can support Japanese characters and has the same codepage as EPSON. I tried many different variations but I was unable to print simple Japanese characters. Can you please give me some suggestions? How should I write the EscPosCharsetEncoding function? Thank you.

My printer have this id for charsets :

Here is charset id for an Epson printer : https://www.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=32

You have to find the correct charset for Japanese char for your printer. I can't help you more.

Thank you so much for replying.

I understood the codepage thing a little bit. I have mailed my printer company for the printer's codepage. They usually reply very fast. When I get the codepage, I will try again. I might have some questions that I want to ask you. That's why I am not closing this issue for now. Is it okay to do?

Thank you.

Yes, keep open this issue. Say me when all is done.

Thank you so much.

I have got my printer's Codepage list.

I want to print all kinds of Japanese characters consists of Hiragana, Katakana & kanji. Now how should I write the EscPosCharsetEncoding function?

I have tried the below code but it still doesn't work EscPosPrinter printer = new EscPosPrinter(new TcpConnection("192.168.1.5", 9100), 203, 80f, 48, new EscPosCharsetEncoding("Shift_JIS", 1));

x-IBM942 | Cp942 | ibm-942 cp942 ibm942 942 | IBM OS/2 Japanese, superset of Cp932

Try this :

new EscPosCharsetEncoding("x-IBM942", 1) new EscPosCharsetEncoding("x-IBM942", 29)

May be that will work

It didn't work :( :(

I also tried other things like IBM942 ibm-942 ibm942 IBM943

This also Doesn't work.

English characters are printing fine but Katakana characters are printing garbage values. Are there any other suggestions?

new EscPosCharsetEncoding("IBM290", 1)
new EscPosCharsetEncoding("IBM290", 29)
new EscPosCharsetEncoding("JIS_X0201", 1)
new EscPosCharsetEncoding("JIS_X0201", 29)
new EscPosCharsetEncoding("x-IBM930", 1)
new EscPosCharsetEncoding("x-IBM930", 29)

I haven't more options after that.

Thank you so much for the references. I couldn't get it to work properly.

I am trying to solve the Unicode problem by using HTML 2 image. And then printing that image.

Reference - HTML2Image_ESC_POS

Thanks a lot for your time and support. :)
