STAR MICRONICS TSP143III Wi-FI #685

Open sierraitgroup opened 5 years ago

Hi there,

We are using ESCPOS.php on our POS System successfully with several STAR Branded Printers (USB and LAN) without any issues. Since we would need to add an additional printer, we would like to opt for a STAR MICRONICS TSP143III WI-FI Printer. Does anyone know if this printer works and is supported?

Thank you very much and best regards

@sierraitgroup there are a few hits when I search issues for TSP143III, not very encouraging though.

The manual says "Supports Star Line & ESC/POS™ Mode via futurePRNT software", but I don't know exactly what that means for how this library would communicate with it.

On other Star printers, you can hit a physical switch to enable ESC/POS emulation, and then we just send raw ESC/POS data (port 9100 over TCP would be typical transport for a LAN printer). I'm hoping that this function is simply software-controlled now, but at this stage, there are no clear reports from users of escpos-php to tell us for sure.
