Thermal printer isn't Printing Images

Postby kopii » Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:34 am

Hello,
I am using a 2 inch thermal printer with arduino uno r3. I used adafruit library for thermal printer i.e. "Adafruit_Thermal.h". With this library the text (Strings) are printing fine, but when there comes a bitmap image, the printer just prints some garbage dots.I made only one change in Adafruit_Thermal.cpp which is baudrate. My printer's baudrate is 115200. The printed output image is attached. Please guide me how to fix it.

Is this a printer from Adafruit? Not all thermal printers support the same protocols.

This printer is not from Adafruit but its following all the POS Commands.

We really can't support products we didn't sell. I suggest you contact the vendor of your printer for technical support.

Thanks. I have studies the printer by adafuit and the one I have. The POS Commands for both are exactly same. Can you tell me about the portion I need to modify in adafruit thermal library in order to print a bitmap???
Thanks

As Driverblock says, we can't provide support for products that we do not sell. The Adafruit Library works with the Adafruit printers. If your non-adafruit printer is not responding to the documented commands, then you need to talk to the people you bought it from.
