== '''POS Printer Character Set Support''' ==
{{Migrating|https://smartpossdk.gitbook.io/cloudpossdk/faq/printer/print-unsupported-character-sets}}
 
'''Overview:'''
 
The POS printer is equipped to support the GB2312 character set by default, which is predominantly used for simplified Chinese characters. Additionally, it accommodates various Latin character sets, including but not limited to ISO8859-1.
 
'''Changing Character Sets:'''
 
To modify the printer's character set, developers can implement ESC (Escape) commands. Detailed guidance on using these commands is available at the SDK Wiki: [[http://sdkwiki.wizarpos.com/index.php/ESC_Commands#ESC_t  ESC Commands Documentation]].
 
== '''Advanced Printing Options Using HTML''' ==
 
'''Context:'''
 
In scenarios where the default character sets do not meet your requirements, or if you desire a more aesthetically pleasing font, printing via HTML content is a viable option.
 
'''Implementing HTML Printing:'''
 
To enable HTML printing, the following steps are required:
 
# '''WebView Configuration:'''
#* Integrate the WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw() method into your application's source code. This step is crucial as the printing functionality utilizes Android WebView to process HTML content for printing.
# '''Permission Requirements:'''
#* Your application must declare the android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission in its manifest file. This permission is essential for the printHTML utility to effectively render windows using off-screen HTML content.
 
== '''Java SDK API''' ==
=== API Overview ===
==== printHTML ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">void printHTML(Context context, String htmlContent, PrinterHtmlListener listener) throws DeviceException;</syntaxhighlight >
Print html content, add WebView.enableSlowWholeDocumentDraw() in the calling app, and add this permission android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in manifest file.
{|class="wizarpostable"
|-
! scope="row" colspan="2" | Parameters
|-
| context || '''Context:''' context.
|-
| htmlContent || '''String:''' html content.
|-
| listener|| '''PrinterHtmlListener:''' PrinterHtmlListener.
|}
==== convertHTML2image ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">void convertHTML2image(Context context, String htmlContent, PrinterHtmlListener listener) throws DeviceException;</syntaxhighlight >

=== Sample with Java SDK API ===
Please refer to java [http://{{SERVERNAME}}/wizarposapi/ API Spec].
Download [http://ftp.wizarpos.com/device/java/CloudPosAPIDemoForAar_1.5.3.071_20210913.zip API demo 1.5.3.071], there is a printHtml method in com.wizarpos.apidemo.action.PrinterAction.java, you can call it like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
    public void printHtml(final Map<String, Object> param, final ActionCallback callback) {
        try {
            final String htmlContent = "<!DOCTYPE html>" +
