I dont recall seeing upsidedown in the command set, if its just constant things then there is windows software to upload several images that you can print with a control character.
If you have to move to using bitmap mode like windows does the serial interface is way way way too slow for that - your not going to be doing any car racing games on reciept paper over serial if you have to print in graphical mode.

Re: Connecting a printer to an Arduino?
I figured that out in the meantime: It is ESC {richms wrote:I dont recall seeing upsidedown in the command set, if its just constant things then there is windows software to upload several images that you can print with a control character.
Or, if you'd like to add it to uberhunds set of Characters:
char upSideDownON[]={0x1b,'{',0x01};
char upSideDownOFF[]={0x1b,'{',0x00};
It works fine with the Epson TM-T88II
I haven't figured out the bitmap printing with ESC POS yet, I think I might be messing up the data for the ESC * command.

Re: Connecting a printer to an Arduino?
I've written a printer driver to control the Epson M-190 printer mechanism form an Arduino UNO.
There is a demo here

and the source code is available on github.

Nice work, Spearson78. In fact, uber nice. Counter top real estate is critical in my case - your solution really brings the footprint down.

Re: Connecting a printer to an Arduino?
Hi Guys,
At the moment, I am looking to drive a Epson LQ-310 impact dot matrix printer with Arduino Mega ADK through USB using UHS2.0 library.
Unfortunately, the blog posted by rufruf is deleted.
Could anyone please help me regarding this on how to achieve this?
Thank You.
