receiptline / receiptio Goto Github PK

Looks like a great library, but missing TypeScript typings.

hi,
thanks for a very excellent application.
the concept is really great!!.
i have an xprinter which i want to connect to with receiptio on windows 10.
i am able to do test prints with windows os and the printer works fine.
but when i try connecting using xprinter it does not seem to work and i always get the disconnect(105) message when i try printing using receiptio whether on the command line or when using the library from a nodejs application.
i checked the list of supported printers but i noticed the xprinter series of printers wasn't supported.
is this support coming anytime soon or is there some sort of workaround around this.
thanks!!.

I would like to be able to test that the printer is online, without actually printing anything.

Great library! I'm personally only interested in generating digital receipts, without the need of the printer, through the API.

I wasn't sure which options actually allow to set the width and increase spacing, just like https://receiptline.github.io/designer/? Would that be done through character limitation only? Also, is there a way to set a specific font during render (e.g., <span style="font-family:Papyrus; font-size:4em;">Thanks!</span>)? I'm trying to make it look a bit more alike with the US & CA standard.

Hi,

In the industry I work on it is very common that ticket paper has a color brand stripe to the left side:

In order for the text not be placed over the stripe, some precautions should be taken.

My solution is to add a "margin" parameter ("-m") to receiptio, and then overwrite the "area" command accordingly:

const transform = async (receiptmd, printer) => {
    // ...
    // ...
    if (printer.leftMargin) {
        printer.command = Object.assign(
            {}, 
            typeof printer.command === 'object' ? printer.command : receiptline.commands[printer.command]
        );

        // overwrite area function
        const a = printer.command.area;
        printer.command.area = (left, width, right) => a(left + printer.leftMargin, width, right - printer.leftMargin);
    }
    
    return receiptline.transform(receiptmd, printer);
};

Also, the parameter cpl might need to be adjusted.
i.e. with a cpl of 48 and a leftMargin of 2, will give a total width of 50, forcing the wrapping of every line.

So, when cpl is not manually provided it should be adjusted:
cpl = default - leftMargin

I'm unsure this should be part of the receiptline or the receiptio tool. My implementation is on receiptio, but it might also fit as a general parameter in receiptline.
It could also be extended to right margin, of course.

hi,
i kinda like the concept of this API. and my question is, can i connect to IWARE thermal printer that could connect with USB and/or Bluetooth with this API ? thx!

This command works flawlessly and prints. The printer is attached to a network.
"receiptio -d 192.168.1.60 -p generic receiptline.txt"

I tried to transfer the printer by plugging it in my system through USB.
"receiptio -d lpt1 -p generic receiptline.txt"
"receiptio -d USB002 -p generic receiptline.txt"
These commands returns "disconnect". How can I know the proper port/name of the printer?

This is the configuration of windows and the information stated in Device Manager.

Im on Windows 11 and the printer is a Generic 80mm Thermal.
