To create a page mode print document
The page mode starts by storing addPageBegin (p.70) of the Builder class into a command buffer. Store the
print area (addPageArea (p.72)) and the print start position (addPagePosition (p.76)) in command buffers.
Specify the print start position according to the print data. Then, store APIs in command buffers and create
print data. For the page mode end, store addPageEnd (p.71) in a command buffer. Use the programming
example below for your reference.
try {
//Initialize a Builder class instance
Builder builder = new Builder("TM-T88V", Builder.MODEL_ANK);
//Create a print document
//<The page mode starts>
builder.addPageBegin();
builder.addPageArea(100, 50, 200, 100);
builder.addPagePosition(0, 42);
//<Configure the print character settings>
builder.addTextLang(Builder.LANG_EN);
builder.addTextSmooth(Builder.TRUE);
builder.addTextFont(Builder.FONT_A);
builder.addTextSize(4, 4);
builder.addTextStyle(Builder.FALSE, Builder.FALSE, Builder.TRUE, Builder.PARAM_UNSPEC
//<Specify the print data>
builder.addText("Hello,\t");
builder.addText("World!\n");
//<The page mode ends>
builder.addPageEnd();
builder.addCut(Builder.CUT_FEED);
} catch (EposException e) {
int errStatus = e.getErrorStatus();
}
