4 years ago Hi @rajesh-shanthi , first, we need to clarify about "printing correctly on word or textpad...". In mine printer it happens too. You can make it with java, more information on docs oracle. This kind of printing is the regular printing, for normal printers. You can print everything, images, special characters, etc... It's like create one bitmap and print and can be convenient in some cases. In other hand, I doesn't know if it works on all termal printers.... Another option, and more simple way is to create one bitmap, and print it on escpos printer.
Ok, then the another subject matter.... the escpos arabic character In mine printer, it works well with some adjusts:
public class Arabic implements Exec {
@Override
public void exec(EscPos escpos) throws IOException {
// System.setProperty("file.encoding", "UTF-8");
Style title = new Style().setFontSize(Style.FontSize._2, Style.FontSize._4)
.setJustification(EscPosConst.Justification.Center);
// escpos.setCharacterCodeTable(EscPos.CharacterCodeTable.CP864_Arabic);
// escpos.setCharacterCodeTable(EscPos.CharacterCodeTable.PC720_Arabic);
escpos.setCharacterCodeTable(EscPos.CharacterCodeTable.WCP1256_Arabic);
// escpos.setCharacterCodeTable(EscPos.CharacterCodeTable.);
System.out.println(escpos.getDefaultCharsetName());
String rawString = "الصفحة الرئيسية";
escpos.writeLF("ة");
escpos.writeLF("ي");
escpos.writeLF("س");
escpos.writeLF("ا");
escpos.writeLF("ل");
escpos.writeLF("ص");
escpos.writeLF(rawString);
// escpos.write(rawString);
// escpos.write(rawString);
escpos.feed(5);
escpos.cut(EscPos.CutMode.FULL);
escpos.close();
}
}
At last, but not least important, for help to understood what is happening, you can read the escpos-coffee wiki page about this subject on this link
If you have any question, count on me.
