How to use embedded POS printer ? #237

Open ThomasCarltonInPerson opened 11 months ago

ThomasCarltonInPerson commented 11 months ago

Hi team,

I have a POS Terminal with an embedded printer. The printer is shown among the blutooth devices.

On the terminal, when I click device details, I get :

Device's Bluetooth address : 66:11:22:33:44:55

Does anyone know how to use the library to connect to the printer please ?

In the documentation there is : 

    //USB, Bluetooth, or Serial
    //var printer = new SerialPrinter(portName: "COM5", baudRate: 115200);

But I don't have any port name to use that. I have the entire bluetooth adress ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Hi Thomas, you can open a connection with that bluetooth port and send all bytes generated by this library directly to the port, and the printer shall print it for you.

In #51 you can find an example of how you could accomplish this. And there are other related issues attached to that as well with more use cases.
