Flip text thermal printer

Post by bjelm »

Hello!
I'm trying to find a way to flip the text im printing on my thermal printer.
The reason is because the printer is mounted on the front of a box, and the thext appears printed upside down by default.
Is there a way to make the printer print so the text that comes out can be read normaly as it prints, rather then having it upside down. I want the text rotatated 180 degrees.

Thx in advance.
Petter

The printer doesn't support text rotation. You'd have to generate the text as a bitmap and send that to the printer.
