Cordova plugin for Epson ePOS SDK(v2.6.0) for iOS and Android.

Integrates the Epson ePOS2 SDK for iOS and Android with a limited set of functions to discover and connect ePOS printers

Check supported devices and requirements from official SDK by Epson.

cordova plugin add epsonepos2tmp20

The plugin exposes an interface object to cordova.epos2 for direct interaction with the SDK functions. See www/plugin.js for details about the available functions and their arguments. All API functions are asynchronous and return a Promise.

This will search for supported printers connected to your mobiel device via Bluetooth or available in local area network (LAN)

cordova.epos2.startDiscover((deviceInfo) => {
    // success callback with deviceInfo
    console.log(deviceInfo);
}, (error) => {
    // error callback
    console.err(error);
});

cordova.epos2.stopDiscover()
  .then(() => {
    // success callback
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
  });

Resolves with an array of strings denoting the supported printer models.

cordova.epos2.getSupportedModels()
  .then((models) => {
    // success callback
    console.log(models);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
    console.err(error);
  });

Establish a connection to the given printer device. For device either provide a device information objects as retrieved from discovery or string with device address ('BT:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' or 'TCP:xx.xx.xx.xx').

cordova.epos2.connectPrinter(device, printerModel)
  .then((connected) => {
    // success callback
    console.log(connected);
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // error callback
    console.err(error);
  });

cordova.epos2.disconnectPrinter()
  .then((disconnected) => {
    // success callback
    console.log(disconnected);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
    console.err(error);
  });

cordova.epos2.getPrinterStatus()
  .then((status) => {
    // success callback with status object
    console.log(status);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
    console.err(error);
  });

Let the language of the printer or text before printing. EPOS2_MODEL_ANK and EPOS2_LANG_EN are default.

Available languages for lang (model language) are:

• EPOS2_MODEL_ANK,
• EPOS2_MODEL_CHINESE
• EPOS2_MODEL_TAIWANAN
• EPOS2_MODEL_KOREAN
• EPOS2_MODEL_THAI
• EPOS2_MODEL_SOUTHASIA

For textLang:

• EPOS2_LANG_EN
• EPOS2_LANG_JA
• EPOS2_LANG_ZH_CN
• EPOS2_LANG_ZH_TW
• EPOS2_LANG_KO
• EPOS2_LANG_TH
• EPOS2_LANG_VI
• EPOS2_LANG_MULTI
• EPOS2_PARAM_DEFAULT

cordova.epos2.setLang(lang, textLang)
  .then(function(status) {
    // status=true if language was set
    console.log(status);
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // error callback
  });

One-shot function printing the given text. Use '\n' in string data in order to move to next line. Cut feed is added automatically.

cordova.epos2.print(stringData, () => {
    // success callback
}, (error) => {
    // error callback
});

Send text to the connected printer. Also accepts parameters for font type, text size and alignment. Can be called multiple times for additional text lines. Set terminate to True in order to complete the print job and add cut feed.

cordova.epos2.printText(stringData, 0, 1, 2, false)
  .then(() => {
    // success callback
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
  });

    // success callback
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error callback
  });

After successful discovery or entering the printer address, one can send a print job like this:

cordova.epos2.connectPrinter(device, model)
  .then(function() {
    return cordova.epos2.printText([
      'This is a printing demo from Cordova\n',
      'Composed using the cordova-plugin-epos2 plugin\n',
      '\n'
    ]);
  })
  .then(function() {
    // send image with `terminate` flag to complete the print job
    return cordova.epos2.printImage('data:image/png;base64,xxxxx', 0, 0, true);
  })
  .then(function() {
    return cordova.epos2.disconnectPrinter()
      .catch(function() { /* ignore disconnect errors */ });
  })
  .then(function() {
    console.log('Printing complete.');
  })
  .catch(function(err) {
    console.error('Printing failed', err);
  })
