NiimPrintX is a Python library designed to seamlessly interface with NiimBot label printers via Bluetooth. This library supports a range of models including D11/B21/B1, D110, and B18.
It looks like as if the commands that the B1 printer expects are not the same as the other printers.
By adding a new V2 function for
print_image
start_print
set_dimention
I could get basic prints running, the V2 implementations send some more data and don't require other packets to be sent. An end_print command, for instance, is not needed anymore in the V2 implementation. For better reliability while printing, I added a timeout of 2 seconds.
The implementation was tested on the following labels I have at hand:
50mm x 30mm
40mm x 30mm (T40*15/2R-460WHITE-HW)
I also enhanced parts of the debug logging and left it enabled for now.
I also had to change the rotation setting from 90 to 0 for me to get it working, if I find the time I am going to add that setting to the UI.
As described in issue #5, there is an error when implementing sizes for the B1 printer.
Based on the browser implementation of @multimote (https://github.com/MultiMote/niimblue) newer version under (https://gitee.mmote.ru/MultiMote/niimblue-nightly) I was able to get the B1 printer working.
