This project implements a subset of Epson's ESC/POS protocol for thermal receipt printers. It allows you to generate and print receipts with basic formatting, cutting, and barcodes on a compatible printer.
The library was developed to add drop-in support for receipt printing to any PHP app, including web-based point-of-sale (POS) applications.

## Basic usage
### Include the library
#### Composer
If you are using composer, then add `mike42/escpos-php` as a dependency:
```bash
composer require mike42/escpos-php
```
In this case, you would include composer's auto-loader at the top of your source files:
```php
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
```
#### Manually
If you don't have composer available, then simply download the code and include `autoload.php`:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php vendor/mike42/escpos-php
```
```php
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/mike42/escpos-php/autoload.php';
```
#### Requirements
To maintain compatibility with as many systems as possible, this driver has few
hard dependencies:
- PHP 5.4 or above.
- `mbstring` extension, since the driver accepts UTF-8 encoding.
It is also suggested that you install either `imagick` or `gd`, so that you can
print images.
A number of optional packages can be added to enable more specific features. These
are described in the "suggest" section of [composer.json](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/composer.json).
### The 'Hello World' receipt
To make use of this driver, your server (where PHP is installed) must be able to communicate with your printer. Start by generating a simple receipt and sending it to your printer using the command-line.
```php
<?php
/* Call this file 'hello-world.php' */
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\FilePrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
$connector = new FilePrintConnector("php://stdout");
$printer = new Printer($connector);
$printer -> text("Hello World!\n");
$printer -> cut();
$printer -> close();
```
Some examples are below for common interfaces.
Communicate with a printer with an Ethernet interface using `netcat`:
```bash
php hello-world.php | nc 10.x.x.x. 9100
```
A USB local printer connected with `usblp` on Linux has a device file (Includes USB-parallel interfaces):
```bash
php hello-world.php > /dev/usb/lp0
```
A computer installed into the local `cups` server is accessed through `lp` or `lpr`:
```bash
php hello-world.php > foo.txt
lpr -o raw -H localhost -P printer foo.txt
```
A local or networked printer on a Windows computer is mapped in to a file, and generally requires you to share the printer first:
```
php hello-world.php > foo.txt
net use LPT1 \\server\printer
copy foo.txt LPT1
del foo.txt
```
If you have troubles at this point, then you should consult your OS and printer system documentation to try to find a working print command.
### Using a PrintConnector
To print receipts from PHP, use the most applicable [PrintConnector](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/src/Mike42/Escpos/PrintConnectors) for your setup. The connector simply provides the plumbing to get data to the printer.
For example, a `NetworkPrintConnector` accepts an IP address and port:
```php
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\NetworkPrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
$connector = new NetworkPrintConnector("10.x.x.x", 9100);
$printer = new Printer($connector);
try {
// ... Print stuff
} finally {
$printer -> close();
}
```
While a serial printer might use:
```php
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\FilePrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
$connector = new FilePrintConnector("/dev/ttyS0");
$printer = new Printer($connector);
```
For each OS/interface combination that's supported, there are examples in the compatibility section of how a `PrintConnector` would be constructed. If you can't get a `PrintConnector` to work, then be sure to include the working print command in bug.
### Using a CapabilityProfile
Support for commands and code pages varies between printer vendors and models. By default, the driver will accept UTF-8, and output commands that are suitable for Epson TM-series printers.
When trying out a new brand of printer, it's a good idea to use the "simple" `CapabilityProfile`, which instructs the driver to avoid the use of advanced features (generally simpler image handling, ASCII-only text).
```php
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\CapabilityProfile;
$profile = CapabilityProfile::load("simple");
$connector = new WindowsPrintConnector("smb://computer/printer");
$printer = new Printer($connector, $profile);
```
As another example, Star-branded printers use different commands:
```php
use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector;
use Mike42\Escpos\CapabilityProfile;
$profile = CapabilityProfile::load("SP2000")
$connector = new WindowsPrintConnector("smb://computer/printer");
$printer = new Printer($connector, $profile);
```
For a list of available profiles, or to have support for your printer improved, please see the upstream [receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db](https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db) project.
### Tips & examples
On Linux, your printer device file will be somewhere like `/dev/lp0` (parallel), `/dev/usb/lp1` (USB), `/dev/ttyUSB0` (USB-Serial), `/dev/ttyS0` (serial).
On Windows, the device files will be along the lines of `LPT1` (parallel) or `COM1` (serial). Use the `WindowsPrintConnector` to tap into system printing on Windows (eg. [Windows USB](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/example/interface/windows-usb.php), [SMB](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/example/interface/smb.php) or [Windows LPT](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/example/interface/windows-lpt.php)) - this submits print jobs via a queue rather than communicating directly with the printer.
A complete real-world receipt can be found in the code of [Auth](https://github.com/mike42/Auth) in [ReceiptPrinter.php](https://github.com/mike42/Auth/blob/master/lib/misc/ReceiptPrinter.php). It includes justification, boldness, and a barcode.
Other examples are located in the [example/](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/blob/master/example/) directory.
## Available methods
### __construct(PrintConnector $connector, CapabilityProfile $profile)
Construct new print object.
Parameters:
- `PrintConnector $connector`: The PrintConnector to send data to.
- `CapabilityProfile $profile` Supported features of this printer. If not set, the "default" CapabilityProfile will be used, which is suitable for Epson printers.
See [example/interface/](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/tree/master/example/interface/) for ways to open connections for different platforms and interfaces.
### barcode($content, $type)
Print a barcode.
Parameters:
- `string $content`: The information to encode.
- `int $type`: The barcode standard to output. If not specified, `Printer::BARCODE_CODE39` will be used.
Currently supported barcode standards are (depending on your printer):
- `BARCODE_UPCA`
- `BARCODE_UPCE`
- `BARCODE_JAN13`
- `BARCODE_JAN8`
- `BARCODE_CODE39`
- `BARCODE_ITF`
- `BARCODE_CODABAR`
Note that some barcode standards can only encode numbers, so attempting to print non-numeric codes with them may result in strange behaviour.
### bitImage(EscposImage $image, $size)
See [graphics()](#graphicsescposimage-image-size) below.
### cut($mode, $lines)
Cut the paper.
Parameters:
- `int $mode`: Cut mode, either `Printer::CUT_FULL` or `Printer::CUT_PARTIAL`. If not specified, `Printer::CUT_FULL` will be used.
- `int $lines`: Number of lines to feed before cutting. If not specified, 3 will be used.
### feed($lines)
Print and feed line / Print and feed n lines.
Parameters:
- `int $lines`: Number of lines to feed
### feedForm()
Some printers require a form feed to release the paper. On most printers, this command is only useful in page mode, which is not implemented in this driver.
### feedReverse($lines)
Print and reverse feed n lines.
Parameters:
- `int $lines`: number of lines to feed. If not specified, 1 line will be fed.
### graphics(EscposImage $image, $size)
Print an image to the printer.
Parameters:
- `EscposImage $img`: The image to print.
- `int $size`: Output size modifier for the image.
Size modifiers are:
- `IMG_DEFAULT` (leave image at original size)
- `IMG_DOUBLE_WIDTH`
- `IMG_DOUBLE_HEIGHT`
A minimal example:
```php
<?php
$img = EscposImage::load("logo.png");
$printer -> graphics($img);
```
See the [example/](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php/blob/master/example/) folder for detailed examples.
The function [bitImage()](#bitimageescposimage-image-size) takes the same parameters, and can be used if your printer doesn't support the newer graphics commands. As an additional fallback, the `bitImageColumnFormat()` function is also provided.
### initialize()
Initialize printer. This resets formatting back to the defaults.
### pdf417Code($content, $width, $heightMultiplier, $dataColumnCount, $ec, $options)
Print a two-dimensional data code using the PDF417 standard.
Parameters:
- `string $content`: Text or numbers to store in the code
- `number $width`: Width of a module (pixel) in the printed code. Default is 3 dots.
- `number $heightMultiplier`: Multiplier for height of a module. Default is 3 times the width.
- `number $dataColumnCount`: Number of data columns to use. 0 (default) is to auto-calculate. Smaller numbers will result in a narrower code, making larger pixel sizes possible. Larger numbers require smaller pixel sizes.
- `real $ec`: Error correction ratio, from 0.01 to 4.00. Default is 0.10 (10%).
- `number $options`: Standard code `Printer::PDF417_STANDARD` with start/end bars, or truncated code `Printer::PDF417_TRUNCATED` with start bars only.
### pulse($pin, $on_ms, $off_ms)
Generate a pulse, for opening a cash drawer if one is connected. The default settings (0, 120, 240) should open an Epson drawer.
Parameters:
- `int $pin`: 0 or 1, for pin 2 or pin 5 kick-out connector respectively.
- `int $on_ms`: pulse ON time, in milliseconds.
- `int $off_ms`: pulse OFF time, in milliseconds.
### qrCode($content, $ec, $size, $model)
Print the given data as a QR code on the printer.
- `string $content`: The content of the code. Numeric data will be more efficiently compacted.
- `int $ec` Error-correction level to use. One of `Printer::QR_ECLEVEL_L` (default), `Printer::QR_ECLEVEL_M`, `Printer::QR_ECLEVEL_Q` or `Printer::QR_ECLEVEL_H`. Higher error correction results in a less compact code.
- `int $size`: Pixel size to use. Must be 1-16 (default 3)
- `int $model`: QR code model to use. Must be one of `Printer::QR_MODEL_1`, `Printer::QR_MODEL_2` (default) or `Printer::QR_MICRO` (not supported by all printers).
### selectPrintMode($mode)
Select print mode(s).
Parameters:
- `int $mode`: The mode to use. Default is `Printer::MODE_FONT_A`, with no special formatting. This has a similar effect to running `initialize()`.
Several MODE_* constants can be OR'd together passed to this function's `$mode` argument. The valid modes are:
- `MODE_FONT_A`
- `MODE_FONT_B`
- `MODE_EMPHASIZED`
- `MODE_DOUBLE_HEIGHT`
- `MODE_DOUBLE_WIDTH`
- `MODE_UNDERLINE`
### setBarcodeHeight($height)
Set barcode height.
Parameters:
- `int $height`: Height in dots. If not specified, 8 will be used.
### setBarcodeWidth($width)
Set barcode bar width.
Parameters:
- `int $width`: Bar width in dots. If not specified, 3 will be used. Values above 6 appear to have no effect.
### setColor($color)

Parameters:
- `int $font`: The font to use. Must be either `Printer::FONT_A`, `Printer::FONT_B`, or `Printer::FONT_C`.
### setJustification($justification)
Select justification.
Parameters:
- `int $justification`: One of `Printer::JUSTIFY_LEFT`, `Printer::JUSTIFY_CENTER`, or `Printer::JUSTIFY_RIGHT`.
### setLineSpacing($height)
Set the height of the line.
Some printers will allow you to overlap lines with a smaller line feed.
Parameters:
- `int $height`: The height of each line, in dots. If not set, the printer will reset to its default line spacing.
### setPrintLeftMargin($margin)
Set print area left margin. Reset to default with `Printer::initialize()`.
Parameters:
- `int $margin`: The left margin to set on to the print area, in dots.
### setPrintWidth($width)
