Hi
Please how can I use a WDLINK thermal printer with arduino using ethernet shield ?
Thanks
What is a a WDLINK thermal printer? Do you have links to documentation so I can see the same information that you have?
You will need to specify which thermal printer you have. The WDLINK website appears to show 6 models.
As already requested, you need to provide details on the actual thermal printer you have along with details of the communications interface.
Tanks for replay
The model of the printer is WD8260
Ok. Does the manufacturer provide any details of the ethernet interface. You need to know the communications protocol in order to be able to send information to the printer.
Not necessary ethernet
Any way to communicate with the printer and arduino
The web site says:
Optional interface: USB/ USB+Lan/ USB+BT/USB+WIFI+USB+WIFI, etc
You need to know what interface(s) are available on your printer and you also need to know the comms protocol those interfaces use.
A lot of the thermal printers I've seen discussed on the forum tend to have a serial interface and a manual detailing various escape codes to print out barcodes, QR codes and images as well as rotating the image, changing font, bold, underline etc.
