Customer:

I have a question about printing from Arduino to a POS serial thermal printer. I’m planning to use a Posiflex PP-6900U-B, which will print simple text without any graphics.

I’ve found a couple of resources: http://tronixstuff.com/2011/07/08/tutorial-arduino-and-a-thermal-printer/ and Arduino Code | Mini Thermal Receipt Printers | Adafruit Learning System.

Do you have experience with a reliable approach for this?

Samo da javim, stiglo je u subotu. Hvala još jedanput.

E sad, imam pitanje … dali imate iskustva sa ispisom sa Arduina na POS serijski termalni pisač ? Ja planiram koristiti Posiflex PP-6900U-B. Printat će se jednostavni tekstovi (bez bilo kakve grafike).

Kolko vidim, jedna od opcija je http://tronixstuff.com/2011/07/08/tutorial-arduino-and-a-thermal-printer/ odnosno Arduino Code | Mini Thermal Receipt Printers | Adafruit Learning System.

Znate li možda za neku varijantu koja bude radila pouzdano ?

Lijep pozdrav,

Sukladno tel. razgovoru, naručio sam i platio putem web shopa … narudžba je # .

Hvala unaprijed na lemljenju i žurnom slanju (tako da ja to dobijem sutra).

Kad sve skupa isprobam se čujemo.

Soldered Support:

Connecting an Arduino to a POS printer with UART should be straightforward as long as documentation is available. We’ve used the tutorials you linked and they work well. The printer itself is fairly expensive and the build quality isn’t industrial-grade, so we’ve had to remove it from its housing and place it in custom aluminum enclosures. But the printer works well.

With the Posiflex PP-6900U-B, if it has a serial port and documented serial communication protocol, you should be able to implement printing from Arduino with sufficient development time.

super da je stiglo na vrijeme.

Povezati Arduino s POS printerom koji ima UART bi trebalo biti lako sve dok je dostupna dokumentacija. Printer s dva linka koje ste poslali smo i mi koristili i to radi, jedino je sam printer prilično skup i kvaliteta izrade mu nije industrijska, pa smo ga mi bili vadili iz kučišta i stavljali u custom aluminijska kučišta. Ali printer dobro radi :slight_smile:

Posiflex PP-6900U-B - ako ima serijski port i dokumentiranu serijsku komunikaciju, s dovoljno vremena možete realizirati print preko Arduina
