Python library used to print contents on memobird

Memobird Agent

中文

Memobird Agent is an open-source API designed to print documents on Memobird. This API is accomplished by reverse engineering of its official APP.

Texts, pictures, QR Codes and internal stickers can be printed using only a few lines of code.

Installation

pip install memobird_agent

Usage

import memobird_agent

document = memobird_agent.Document()
document.add_text(text="Test Text", bold=0, font_size=1, underline=0)
document.add_picture(path_to_image)
document.add_qrcode("Text to be encoded into the QR Code")
document.add_text(sticker_id)


user_id = memobird_agent.Util.get_user_id(username="username", password="password")
memobird_agent.Util.bind_machine(smart_guid=smart_guid, user_id=user_id)
document.print(smart_guid, user_id, to_user_id)

Examples

Simple Examples

Print text

import memobird_agent

document = memobird_agent.Document()
document.add_text("Text to print")
document.print(smart_guid, user_id, to_user_id)

FAQ

Q: What are the three parameters for Document.print()? How can I obtain them?

A: Those are information about the sender and the receiver. Detailed descriptions are listed below:

smart_guid is the 16-hex-digit hardware ID of the printer which can be found by long-pressing the button on the machine for six seconds.

user_id is the user ID of the sender, which can be obtained by using memobird_agent.Util.get_user_id(username, password).

to_user_id is an optional parameter which represents the receiver's machine ID. (Defaults to be same as the user_id)

Q: I called document.print() with correct parameters. Why the machine does not print my document?

A: To print a document on a specific machine, that machine must be binded to the user. Two methods are available: Use the official APP, or use the builtin function memobird_agent.Util.bind_machine(smart_guid, user_id).
