POS printer supports GB2312 character set by default and some Latin character sets (iso8859-1,...). Developers can use ESC commands to change character sets. See: http://sdkwiki.wizarpos.com/index.php/ESC_Commands#ESC_t
If you find that the above information still does not allow you to print the correct characters, or if you want a more beautiful font, you can try printing with HTML content. This section will show you how to print receipts in HTML.
Add WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw() to the application source code because we use Android WebView to print HTML content.
Permission
The application declares android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in the manifest. This is required for the printHTML utility to render windows using hidden HTML.

API Overview
printHTML
void printHTML(Context context, String htmlContent, PrinterHtmlListener listener) throws DeviceException;
Print html content, add WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw() in the calling app, and add this permission android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in manifest file.

|---|---|
| context | Context: context. |
| htmlContent | String: html content. |
| listener | PrinterHtmlListener: PrinterHtmlListener. |
convertHTML2image
void convertHTML2image(Context context, String htmlContent, PrinterHtmlListener listener) throws DeviceException;
convertHTML2image, add WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw() in the calling app, and add this permission android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in manifest file.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| context | Context: context. |
| htmlContent | String: html content. |
| listener | PrinterHtmlListener: PrinterHtmlListener. |
PrinterHtmlListener.onGet
void onGet(Bitmap bitmap, int errorCode);

API Overview
PrintHtmlInterface.printHTML
void printHTML(Context context, String htmlcontent, PrinterHtmlListener listener);
Print HTML content.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| context | Context : The activity or application context of the APP. It's used by method to create the hidden window. |
| htmlcontent | String : The HTML content for printing. |
| listener | PrinterHtmlListener : the callback listener to process the print result, Not null. |
PrintHtmlInterface.convert2Image
void convert2Image(Context context, String htmlContent, PrinterHtmlListener listener);
Convert the html content to a image, if want print, please call print API of the printer.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| context | Context : The activity or application context of the APP, Not null. |
| htmlcontent | String : The html content, Not null. |
| listener | PrinterHtmlListener : the callback listener to process the print result, Not null. |
PrinterHtmlListener.onGet
void onGet(Bitmap returbitmap, int result);
This callback will return the bitmap if you invoke the convert2Image method of the PrintHtmlInterface.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| returbitmap | Bitmap : The returned bitmap. |
| result | int: The result of get image, "2:" BITMAP_ERROR, "3:" BITMAP_SUCCESS. |
PrinterHtmlListener.onFinishPrinting
void onFinishPrinting(int result);
This callback will be callled after printing if you invoke the printHTML method of the PrintHtmlInterface.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| result | int : The result of the print,"0:" PRINT_ERROR, "1:" PRINT_SUCCESS,"2:" BITMAP_ERROR, "3:" BITMAP_SUCCESS,"4:" DEVICE_NOT_OPEN. |
