ESC/POS Printer driver for node

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/escpos.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=true)](https://npmjs.org/escpos )
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/escpos.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/escpos )
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/song940/node-escpos.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/song940/node-escpos)

## Installation

### npm
```bash
$ npm i @hanasis/escpos --save
```

### yarn
```bash
$ yarn add @hanasis/escpos
```

if you use usb as an adapter :

+ On Linux, you'll need `libudev` to build libusb.
+ On Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install build-essential libudev-dev`.
+ On Windows, Use [Zadig](http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/) to install the WinUSB driver for your USB device.

Otherwise you will get `LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED` when attempting to open devices.

## Example

````javascript
const escpos = require('@hanasis/escpos');
// install escpos-usb adapter module manually
escpos.USB = require('escpos-usb');
// Select the adapter based on your printer type
const device  = new escpos.USB();
// const device  = new escpos.Network('localhost');
// const device  = new escpos.Serial('/dev/usb/lp0');

const options = { encoding: "GB18030" /* default */ }
// encoding is optional

const printer = new escpos.Printer(device, options);

device.open(function(error){
  printer
  .font('a')
  .align('ct')
  .style('bu')
  .size(1, 1)
  .text('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')
  .text('敏捷的棕色狐狸跳过懒狗')
  .barcode('1234567', 'EAN8')
  .table(["One", "Two", "Three"])
  .tableCustom(
    [
      { text:"Left", align:"LEFT", width:0.33, style: 'B' },
      { text:"Center", align:"CENTER", width:0.33},
      { text:"Right", align:"RIGHT", width:0.33 }
    ],
    { encoding: 'cp857', size: [1, 1] } // Optional
  )
  .qrimage('https://github.com/song940/node-escpos', function(err){
    this.cut();
    this.close();
  });
});
````

## Printer

### Constructors

#### Printer(device)

```javascript
const usbDevice = new escpos.USB();
const usbPrinter = new escpos.Printer(usbDevice);

const serialDevice = new escpos.Serial('/dev/usb/lp0');
const serialPrinter = new escpos.Printer(serialDevice);

const bluetoothDevice = new escpos.Bluetooth('01:23:45:67:89:AB', 1);
const bluetoothPrinter = new escpos.Printer(bluetoothDevice);

const networkDevice = new escpos.Network('localhost');
const networkPrinter = new escpos.Printer(networkDevice);
```

### Methods

Escpos inherits its methods to the printers. the following methods are defined:

#### text("text", encodeType)

Prints raw text. Raises TextError exception.

For the encode type, see the [iconv-lite wiki document](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Supported-Encodings). Escpos uses `iconv-lite` for encoding.

If the type is undefined, the default type is GB18030.

#### async image(imagePath, "density")

Prints an image at a set density.

Density consists of a character signaling the base density setting, `s` for single, `d` for double, followed by an integer for image sampling - `8` (8-bit) or `24`.

```javascript
printer.align('ct')
       .image(image, 's8')
       .then(() => { 
          printer.cut()
                 .close(); 
       });
```

#### encode("encodeType")

Sets the encoding value globally. default type is GB18030 (Chinese)

```javascript
printer
.encode('EUC-KR')
.text('동해물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록');
```

#### control("align")

Carrier feed and tabs.

align is a string which takes any of the following values:

+ LF for Line Feed
+ FF for Form Feed
+ CR for Carriage Return
+ HT for Horizontal Tab
+ VT for Vertical Tab


#### align("align")

Set text properties.

align set horizontal position for text, the possible values are:

+ CT is the Center alignment
+ LT is the Left alignment
+ RT is the Right alignment

Default: LT

#### font("type")
font type could be A or B. Default: A

#### size(width, heigth)

width is a numeric value, 1 is for regular size, and 2 is twice the standard size. Default: 1

height is a numeric value, 1 is for regular size and 2 is twice the standard size. Default: 1



#### barcode("code", "barcodeType", "options")

Prints a barcode.

"code" is an alphanumeric code to be printed as bar code
"barcodeType" must be one of the following type of codes:

+ UPC-A
+ UPC-E
+ EAN13
+ EAN8
+ CODE39
+ ITF
+ NW7

The EAN type automatically calculates the last parity bit. For the EAN13 type, the length of the string is limited to 12, and EAN8 is limited to 7. (#57)
If you wish to disable the parity bit you must set `"includeParity": false` in the options provided to the command.

**"options"**

- "options.width" (default=1) is a numeric value ranging between 1 up to 5. 
- "options.height" (default=100) is a numeric value ranging between 1 up to 255.
- "options.includeParity" (default=true) When true parity bit is calculated for EAN13/EAN8 bar code
- "options.position" (default=BLW) where to place the barcode numeric value: OFF|ABV|BLW|BTH

  + ABV = ABOVE
  + BLW = BELOW
  + BTH = BOTH
  + OFF = OFF

- "options.font" (default=A) the font size: A|B


Raises BarcodeTypeError, BarcodeSizeError, BarcodeCodeError exceptions.

For backward compatibility the old method interface is still supported:


  barcode("code", "barcodeType", width, height, "position", "font")

#### cut("mode")

Cut paper.

mode set a full or partial cut. Default: full
Partial cut is not implemented in all printers.

*** Don't foget this, because cut will flush buffer to printer ***

#### cashdraw(pin)

Sends a pulse to the cash drawer in the specified pin.

pin is a numeric value which defines the pin to be used to send the pulse, it could be 2 or 5.
Raises `CashDrawerError()``

#### beep(n,t)

Printer Buzzer (Beep sound).

"n" Refers to the number of buzzer times.
"t" Refers to the buzzer sound length in (t * 100) milliseconds.
