[pub.dev page] | [Documentation]

It can be used in Flutter or Dart projects. In Flutter, both Android and iOS are supported.

To discover existing printers in your subnet, consider using ping_discover_network package. Note that most of the ESC/POS printers by default listen on port 9100.

Main Features

• Connect to Wi-Fi printers
• Simple text printing using println method
• Tables printing using printRow 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)
• 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

import 'package:esc_pos_printer/esc_pos_printer.dart';

Printer.connect('192.168.0.123', port: 9100).then((printer) {
    printer.println('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');
    printer.println('Special 1: àÀ èÈ éÉ ûÛ üÜ çÇ ôÔ',
        styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));
    printer.println('Special 2: blåbærgrød',
        styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));

    printer.println('Bold text', styles: PosStyles(bold: true));
    printer.println('Reverse text', styles: PosStyles(reverse: true));
    printer.println('Underlined text',
        styles: PosStyles(underline: true), linesAfter: 1);

    printer.println('Align left', styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.left));
    printer.println('Align center',
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center));
    printer.println('Align right',
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.right), linesAfter: 1);
    
    printer.println('Text size 200%',
        styles: PosStyles(
          height: PosTextSize.size2,
          width: PosTextSize.size2,
        ));

    printer.cut();
    printer.disconnect();
  });

Print table row:

printer.printRow([
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col3',
        width: 3,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col6',
        width: 6,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
      PosColumn(
        text: 'col3',
        width: 3,
        styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
      ),
    ]);

Print image:

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

const String filename = './logo.png';
final Image image = decodeImage(File(filename).readAsBytesSync());
// Using (ESC *) command
printer.printImage(image);
// Using an alternative obsolette (GS v 0) command
printer.printImageRaster(image);

Print barcode:

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

TODO

• Add raw print function
• Print images
• Print barcodes
• Print QR codes
• Turn 90° clockwise rotation mode on/off
• Flutter example: discover active Wi-Fi printers
• USB printers support
• Add encoding commands
