EscPos Library for Java

EscPos Library for Java

A basic Java ESC/POS implementation for receipt printers.

• EscPosBuilder provides a fluent style api for preparing ESC/POS data.
• SerialFactory is a type-safe solution for obtaining SerialPort connections on any platform.

EscPosBuilder Usage

EscPosBuilder escPos = new EscPosBuilder();

byte[] data = escPos.initialize()
        .font(Font.EMPHASIZED)
        .align(Align.CENTER)
        .text("HELLO WORLD")
        .feed(5)
        .cut(Cut.PART)
        .getBytes();

SerialFactory Usage

SerialPort port = SerialFactory.jSerialPort("COM3", SerialConfig.CONFIG_9600_8N1());

port.openPort();
port.getOutputStream().write(data);
port.closePort();
