Getting started

Requirements

pip3 install pyserial python-escpos pymupdf

Configuration

You will need to configure your receipt printer in each script seperately as of now. This offers the advantage that the scripts can also be used individually. I might change this in the future.

The code snippet you'll need to change looks like this:

p = Serial(
    devfile='/dev/ttyUSB0',
    baudrate=19200,
    bytesize=8,
    parity='N',
    stopbits=1,
    timeout=1.00,
    dsrdtr=True,
    profile="TM-T88III"
)

The values are pretty self-explanatory. If you're unsure, press and hold the "feed"-button while plugging in your Epson receipt printer. It will print out the information.

At the moment I don't have access to LPT-, USB- or Ethernet-printers, so take a look at the python-escpos documentation if you want to use one of those.
