Datamax python adapter
This piece of code allows you to control a datamax-o'neil label printer. You do not need knowledge of the datamax programming language for simple tasks, this module takes care of it.
The module was developed and tested on python 3.6 using a datamax o'neil e-class mark III printer. It still has very limited functionality allowing you to print text labels and QR-codes. In case you need any other features feel free to contribute.
Install
$ pip install datamax-printer
or from source:
$ python setup.py install
Getting started
from datamax_printer import DPLPrinter
printer = DPLPrinter('<ip of the printer>')
printer.configure()
printer.start_document()
printer.set_qr_code(285, 120, 'https://www.innetag.ch/', 9)
printer.set_label(300, 60, 'innetag.ch', 9, 10)
printer.print()
Please check the example.py
file in our GitHub repository
for a working example.
