This seems to solve the issue, but in this repo i dont see any option for setting this.

Also setting encoding is not avaiable but getiing encoding is available !

Of course you can do:

ThermalPrinter.printFormattedText({
    // ... your settings ...
    printerDpi: 203,
    printerWidthMM: 76,
    printerNbrCharactersPerLine: 48
}, function() {
    console.log('Successfully printed!');
}, function(error) {
    console.error('Printing error', error);
});

As you can see here: https://github.com/paystory-de/thermal-printer-cordova-plugin/blob/main/src/android/ThermalPrinterCordovaPlugin.java#L312

If you specify the charsetEncoding in the JSON object you can also specify a charsetName and/or charsetId. Example:

ThermalPrinter.printFormattedText({
    // ... your settings ...
    charsetEncoding: {
        charsetName: 'windows-1252',
        charsetId: 16
    }
}, function() {
    console.log('Successfully printed!');
}, function(error) {
    console.error('Printing error', error);
});
