9. Driver Setup
There are two ways to install the Driver for thermal receipt printer, one is to install the Driver
directly under WINDOWS, the other is to use the port directly.
* Install the Driver under WINDOWS
Add printer in WINDOWS, and specify the Driver file in the Driver disk to WINDOWS, only need
to call the Driver in the program and start printing. In this way, it is actually printed by the WINDOWS
printer program to convert characters into graphic dot matrix.
* Port drive directly
In this way, there is no need to use the Driver, only need to output the character directly to the
port, and by the printer's internal font library to realize the conversion of the character printing, using
the port direct drive mode, so that the printing control is more convenient.
In this way, you need to use the print command set to control the printing of the printer. The
80mm thermal receipt printer has integrated the ESC/POS command set.
