Sends a text to print

Parameters

deviceName	Unique name of the device

printMode	This parameter is used to change different print modes

Possible values for printMode.

"buffer"

This printMode can be used to print various fonts in one line. The printer will store the text in a buffer. Text is added to the buffer and currently set formatting is remembered along with it. If the text in the buffer contains line ending (¶) or if the text fulfils width of the printable line, it is automatically printed and the remaining part of the text will stay in the buffer. Combining multiple text alignments on one row is not possible. Overwriting of the line alignment for text in buffer is not possible.

"immediate"

This printMode will automatically add line ending at the end of provided text which means that buffer (first) and the text (second) will be printed immediately. If buffer and text is empty printer will print empty line. This is default printMode.

Description

This function uses a printer to print text. Various font settings can be changed using Gonector_Set function

Result

Function returns 0 in case of success. In case of error the function will return "?". Use Gonector_Get( "lastError" ) to get the specific error code.

Result

Function returns JSON string if everything is OK. In case of error the function will return "?". Use Gonector_Get( "lastError" ) to get the specific error code.
The JSON string contains an array of items read (cards, tags…). The items are wrapped in arrays which contain one or more objects. Each object represents one chunk of items data (e.g. in case of localised rfid cards one object would be for data in English and another object for data in German). Each object has at least “type” and “data” or “base64Data” properties.

skID and ALR-S350 also contain object RSSI (Received signal strength indicator):

• In case of skID the RSSI value is actuall RSSI (in dBm). Value closer to 0 indicates stronger signal
• In case of ALR-S350 RSSI value is in range 0 - 100 where 100 represents the strongest signal
