XML::Printer::ESCPOS

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a markup language that describes what your ESCPOS printer should do. It works on top of the great and easy to use Printer::ESCPOS. Now you can save your printer output in an XML file and you can write templates to be processed by Template Toolkit or the template engine of your choice.

SYNOPSIS

use Printer::ESCPOS;
use XML::Printer::ESCPOS;

# connect to your printer, see Printer::ESCPOS for more examples
my $device = Printer::ESCPOS->new(
    driverType => 'Network',
    deviceIp   => '192.168.0.10',
    devicePort => 9100,
);

my $parser = XML::Printer::ESCPOS->new(printer => $device->printer);
$parser->parse(q#
<escpos>
    <bold>bold text</bold>
    <underline>underlined text</underline>
</escpos>
#) or die "Error parsing ESCPOS XML file: ".$parser->errormessage;

$device->printer->cutPaper();
$device->printer->print();

HOW TO WRITE ESCPOS XML FILES

The XML file should be enclosed in <escpos> ... </escpos> tags.
