ESC/POS Rust implementation

Build status Crates.io Documentation

This crate implements a subset of Epson's ESC/POS protocol for thermal receipt printers. It allows you to generate and print documents with basic text formatting, cutting, barcodes, QR codes and raster images on a compatible printer. It also provides a way to check the printer status.

Ticket Receipt
Printed on Aures ODP 333

This project is strongly inspired by recibo (Rust), escposify (Rust) and escpos (Go).

Installation

For standard functionalities (e.g. printing text), no additional dependencies are required:

[dependencies]
escpos = "0.13.1"

If you need all features, you can use the full feature:

[dependencies]
escpos = { version = "0.13.1", features = ["full"] }

Or you can use cargo add command:

cargo add escpos
cargo add escpos -F full

Code coverage

Tool used: tarpaulin

cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
cargo tarpaulin --all-features

Results:

  • [2024-10-14] 57.75% coverage, 1121/1941 lines covered

Features list

Name Description Default
barcodes Print barcodes (UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13, CODE39, ITF or CODABAR)
codes_2d Print 2D codes (QR Code, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, DataMatrix, Aztec, etc.)
graphics Print raster images
usb Enable USB feature
native_usb Enable native USB feature
hidapi Enable HidApi feature
serial_port Enable Serial port feature
full Enable all features

Examples

The examples folder contains various examples of how to use escpos. The docs (will) also provide lots of code snippets and examples.

To launch an example, use the following command:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example full --features full
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example receipt -F full
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example codes
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example debug
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example page_codes
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example usb --features usb
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example native_usb --features native_usb
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example hidapi --features hidapi
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example serial_port --features serial_port
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example status --all-features

Simple text formatting

use escpos::printer::Printer;
use escpos::printer_options::PrinterOptions;
use escpos::utils::*;
use escpos::{driver::*, errors::Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let driver = NetworkDriver::open("192.168.1.248", 9100, None)?;
    Printer::new(driver, Protocol::default(), Some(PrinterOptions::default()))
        .debug_mode(Some(DebugMode::Dec))
        .init()?
        .smoothing(true)?
        .bold(true)?
        .underline(UnderlineMode::Single)?
        .writeln("Bold underline")?
        .justify(JustifyMode::CENTER)?
        .reverse(true)?
        .bold(false)?
        .writeln("Hello world - Reverse")?
        .feed()?
        .justify(JustifyMode::RIGHT)?
        .reverse(false)?
        .underline(UnderlineMode::None)?
        .size(2, 3)?
        .writeln("Hello world - Normal")?
        .print_cut()?;

    Ok(())
}

EAN13

use escpos::printer::Printer;
use escpos::utils::*;
use escpos::{driver::*, errors::Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let driver = ConsoleDriver::open(true);
    Printer::new(driver, Protocol::default(), None)
        .debug_mode(Some(DebugMode::Hex))
        .init()?
        .ean13_option(
            "1234567890265",
            BarcodeOption::new(
                BarcodeWidth::M,
                BarcodeHeight::S,
                BarcodeFont::A,
                BarcodePosition::Below,
            )
        )?
        .feed()?
        .print_cut()?;

    Ok(())
}

QR Code

use escpos::printer::Printer;
use escpos::utils::*;
use escpos::{driver::*, errors::Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let driver = ConsoleDriver::open(true);
    Printer::new(driver, Protocol::default(), None)
        .debug_mode(Some(DebugMode::Hex))
        .init()?
        .qrcode_option(
            "https://www.google.com",
            QRCodeOption::new(QRCodeModel::Model1, 6, QRCodeCorrectionLevel::M),
        )?
        .feed()?
        .print_cut()?;

    Ok(())
}

Bit image (with graphics feature enabled)

use escpos::printer::Printer;
use escpos::utils::*;
use escpos::{driver::*, errors::Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let driver = ConsoleDriver::open(true);
    let mut printer = Printer::new(driver, Protocol::default(), None);
    printer.debug_mode(Some(DebugMode::Hex))
        .init()?
        .bit_image_option(
            "./resources/images/rust-logo-small.png",
            BitImageOption::new(Some(128), None, BitImageSize::Normal)?,
        )?
        .feed()?
        .print_cut()?;

    Ok(())
}

Check printer status

use escpos::printer::Printer;
use escpos::utils::*;
use escpos::{driver::*, errors::Result};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let driver = ConsoleDriver::open(true);
    Printer::new(driver.clone(), Protocol::default(), None)
        .debug_mode(Some(DebugMode::Dec))
        .real_time_status(RealTimeStatusRequest::Printer)?
        .real_time_status(RealTimeStatusRequest::RollPaperSensor)?
        .send_status()?;

    let mut buf = [0; 1];
    driver.read(&mut buf)?;

    let status = RealTimeStatusResponse::parse(RealTimeStatusRequest::Printer, buf[0])?;
    println!(
        "Printer online: {}",
        status.get(&RealTimeStatusResponse::Online).unwrap_or(&false)
    );

    Ok(())
}
