Hello sir
I purchased APS EM205 thermal printer for my project work and i don't know that how to connect it with the arduino Atmega2560 or arduino uno.
I need some programming example for APS EM205 thermal printer to print the coupons.
I have a datasheet of APS EM205 thermal printer and i attach it with this file.
I am waiting for your positive reply.
What have you tried? There must be some examples of printing on that type printer.

I am new in arduino world.
I need some text printing on printer.simple type printing program for APS EM205 thermal printer.
Is Same program of any priner work with this printer?

Any similar thermal printer.
Hello sir
Thank you for guiding me.
Can i use the library example of adafruit thernal printer for controling APS EM205 thermal printer?
Can i use this program?
Programe:-
#include "Adafruit_Thermal.h"
#include "adalogo.h"
#include "adaqrcode.h"
// Here's the new syntax when using SoftwareSerial (e.g. Arduino Uno) ----
// If using hardware serial instead, comment out or remove these lines:
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
#define TX_PIN 6 // Arduino transmit YELLOW WIRE labeled RX on printer
#define RX_PIN 5 // Arduino receive GREEN WIRE labeled TX on printer
SoftwareSerial mySerial(RX_PIN, TX_PIN); // Declare SoftwareSerial obj first
Adafruit_Thermal printer(&mySerial); // Pass addr to printer constructor
// Then see setup() function regarding serial & printer begin() calls.
// Here's the syntax for hardware serial (e.g. Arduino Due) --------------
// Un-comment the following line if using hardware serial:
//Adafruit_Thermal printer(&Serial1); // Or Serial2, Serial3, etc.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
void setup() {
// This line is for compatibility with the Adafruit IotP project pack,
// which uses pin 7 as a spare grounding point. You only need this if
// wired up the same way (w/3-pin header into pins 5/6/7):
pinMode(7, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(7, LOW);
// NOTE: SOME PRINTERS NEED 9600 BAUD instead of 19200, check test page.
mySerial.begin(19200); // Initialize SoftwareSerial
//Serial1.begin(19200); // Use this instead if using hardware serial
printer.begin(); // Init printer (same regardless of serial type)
// The following calls are in setup(), but don't need to be. Use them
// anywhere! They're just here so they run one time and are not printed
// over and over (which would happen if they were in loop() instead).
// Some functions will feed a line when called, this is normal.
// Test inverse on & off
printer.inverseOn();
printer.println(F("Inverse ON"));
printer.inverseOff();
// Test character double-height on & off
printer.doubleHeightOn();
printer.println(F("Double Height ON"));
printer.doubleHeightOff();
// Set text justification (right, center, left) -- accepts 'L', 'C', 'R'
printer.justify('R');
printer.println(F("Right justified"));
printer.justify('C');
printer.println(F("Center justified"));
printer.justify('L');
printer.println(F("Left justified"));
// Test more styles
printer.boldOn();
printer.println(F("Bold text"));
printer.boldOff();
printer.underlineOn();
printer.println(F("Underlined text"));
printer.underlineOff();
printer.setSize('L'); // Set type size, accepts 'S', 'M', 'L'
printer.println(F("Large"));
printer.setSize('M');
printer.println(F("Medium"));
printer.setSize('S');
printer.println(F("Small"));
printer.justify('C');
printer.println(F("normal\nline\nspacing"));
printer.setLineHeight(50);
printer.println(F("Taller\nline\nspacing"));
printer.setLineHeight(); // Reset to default
printer.justify('L');
// Barcode examples:
// CODE39 is the most common alphanumeric barcode:
printer.printBarcode("ADAFRUT", CODE39);
printer.setBarcodeHeight(100);
// Print UPC line on product barcodes:
printer.printBarcode("123456789123", UPC_A);
// Print the 75x75 pixel logo in adalogo.h:
printer.printBitmap(adalogo_width, adalogo_height, adalogo_data);
// Print the 135x135 pixel QR code in adaqrcode.h:
printer.printBitmap(adaqrcode_width, adaqrcode_height, adaqrcode_data);
printer.println(F("Adafruit!"));
printer.feed(2);
printer.sleep(); // Tell printer to sleep
delay(3000L); // Sleep for 3 seconds
printer.wake(); // MUST wake() before printing again, even if reset
printer.setDefault(); // Restore printer to defaults
}
void loop() {
}
Does it work? If not, you have something to start with.

No
