Printing

The PAX A920 supports a few print functions accessible through various print interfaces:

  • Get font family (IPrinterFontHandle) will return the name of the font to use. The PED is supplied with a default font that can be overwritten from the POS. The font closest to the original slip is RobotoMono-Medium.ttf. It is only possible to use one font using this integration.
  • Set absolute path (IPrinterFontHandle) to the font that has been uploaded to the PED.
  • Finish on line feed (ILineFeedPrinting) will activate or deactivate if the PED should feed a few lines before cutting.
  • Print functions can be numerous depending on what to print. The access is given through a few interfaces:
    • Text (ITextPrinting) that should be printed, a single line.
    • Bitmap (IBitmapPrinting) to be printed, the format should be Android.Graphics.Bitmap.
    • Receipt (IReceiptPrinting) lines in a buffer.

The scan buttons on the PAX device (A920) must be managed in the app, that is to switch from volume to scan process. The barcode is posted from an event that must be assigned to, BarcodeEventHandler, returning the scanned data and what type of information it is.

  • Power On opens the camera and waits for something to scan.
