I checked your new sample1.
1. It gives result (print) with some garbage values as shown in attachment.
2. When I replaced your code line with mine i.e. .... Printer.AddBuffer_Bitmap(CreateImage("श्री गणेश",xui.CreateFontAwesome(16)),0)
It converted that font into image properly & shown in preview too. But it printed blank.

Your printer may not be fully compatible. Or the Bluetooth connection between the device and the printer is weak and loses the connection.
you have to use your Fonts, CreateFontAwesone generates characters with the Font "Awesone".Use the xui.CreateFont("NAME TTF",SizeFont) command .....

For the rest you have to do it yourself, I have the impression that you lack the basic knowledge to develop the project you have in mind.

Please do not fill out the thread with continuous requests for assistance. Open a separate thread for your requests

Ok
Sorry for trouble.
I will try...
I knew my mistake. Firtstly I should hv known about 'what is font awasome'. & How is it used.
I think you hv given enough hints for me.
I do not think i will require help further but if required a littlebit, i will ask on different thread.
Or personally i will message you.
Please tell there how much donation should i give for your library.
Regards...

Does anyone have same problem while compiling the sample code ?

Thank you

From the messages you sent me in January 2018, I thought you already had a printer to test.

aviario said:
Hello, I tested your library with an Intermec Pr3 printer and it does not print the bitmap

Thank

In any case, I use a Chinese printer, it costs around € 30

aviario · Sep 17, 2019

Thanks for the information, what are you telling me is 58mm and I need an 80mm one of the picture that is of the same brand would also work?

Greetings

I think so.

Any printer that supports ESC POS works, make sure it is compatible with ESC POS.

Will "Turkish language support" be added to your library? or do you have?

"Ş,İ,Ö,Ç,Ü,Ğ , ş, ı , ö , ç , ü , ğ" - letters such as.

You can see the Character Set with this code. Send a photo of what you print.

B4X:

Dim S As String =""
For i= 32 To 255
     S= S & Chr(i)
Next
Printer.AddBuffer_WriteLine(S)

" ISO8859-9 " no format.

Since it does not have a format, it prints Chinese letters.

Ok. You have a Chinese printer like mine.
I study the question and I'll let you know

My customers use some printers exactly like that model and you will need a command to switch off the "chinese mode". Check the printer CD and ESC/POS manual.
