Tested Printers

Here are some printers tested with this library. Please add your models you have tested to maintain and improve this library and help others to choose the right printer.

Main Features

• Android / iOS support
• Simple text printing using text method
• Tables printing using row method
• Text styling:
  • size, align, bold, reverse, underline, different fonts, turn 90°
• Print images
• Print barcodes
  • UPC-A, UPC-E, JAN13 (EAN13), JAN8 (EAN8), CODE39, ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5), CODABAR (NW-7), CODE128
• Paper cut (partial, full)
• Beeping (with different duration)
• Paper feed, reverse feed

Note: Your printer may not support some of the presented features (especially for underline styles, partial/full paper cutting, reverse feed, ...).

Getting started: Generate a Ticket

Simple ticket:

Ticket testTicket() {
  final Ticket ticket = Ticket(PaperSize.mm80);

  ticket.text(
      'Regular: aA bB cC dD eE fF gG hH iI jJ kK lL mM nN oO pP qQ rR sS tT uU vV wW xX yY zZ');
  ticket.text('Special 1: àÀ èÈ éÉ ûÛ üÜ çÇ ôÔ',
      styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));
  ticket.text('Special 2: blåbærgrød',
      styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));

  ticket.text('Bold text', styles: PosStyles(bold: true));
  ticket.text('Reverse text', styles: PosStyles(reverse: true));
  ticket.text('Underlined text',
      styles: PosStyles(underline: true), linesAfter: 1);
  ticket.text('Align left', styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.left));
  ticket.text('Align center', styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.center));
  ticket.text('Align right',
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.right), linesAfter: 1);

  ticket.text('Text size 200%',
      styles: PosStyles(
        height: PosTextSize.size2,
        width: PosTextSize.size2,
      ));

  ticket.feed(2);
  ticket.cut();
  return ticket;
}

Print a table row:

ticket.row([
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col3',
      width: 3,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col6',
      width: 6,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col3',
      width: 3,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
  ]);

Print an image:

This package implements 3 ESC/POS functions:

• ESC * - print in column format
• GS v 0 - print in bit raster format (obsolete)
• GS ( L - print in bit raster format

Note that your printer may support only some of the above functions.

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:image/image.dart';

final ByteData data = await rootBundle.load('assets/logo.png');
final Uint8List bytes = data.buffer.asUint8List();
final Image image = decodeImage(bytes);
// Using `ESC *`
ticket.image(image);
// Using `GS v 0` (obsolete)
ticket.imageRaster(image);
// Using `GS ( L`
ticket.imageRaster(image, imageFn: PosImageFn.graphics);

Print a barcode:

final List<int> barData = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 4];
ticket.barcode(Barcode.upcA(barData));

Print a QR Code:

To print a QR Code, add qr_flutter and path_provider as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

String qrData = "google.com";
const double qrSize = 200;
try {
  final uiImg = await QrPainter(
    data: qrData,
    version: QrVersions.auto,
    gapless: false,
  ).toImageData(qrSize);
  final dir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
  final pathName = '${dir.path}/qr_tmp.png';
  final qrFile = File(pathName);
  final imgFile = await qrFile.writeAsBytes(uiImg.buffer.asUint8List());
  final img = decodeImage(imgFile.readAsBytesSync());

  ticket.image(img);
} catch (e) {
  print(e);
}

Getting Started (Bluetooth printer)

PrinterBluetoothManager printerManager = PrinterBluetoothManager();

printerManager.scanResults.listen((printers) async {
  // store found printers
});
printerManager.startScan(Duration(seconds: 4));

// ...

printerManager.selectPrinter(printer);
final PosPrintResult res = await printerManager.printTicket(testTicket());

print('Print result: ${res.msg}');

For more details, check the demo project example/blue.
