使用C#将原始数据发送到USB点矩阵打印机

标签: c# printing usb

我正在开发一个简单的应用程序,该应用程序将读取一个文本文件,该文件每5分钟就会被一些遥测数据覆盖。

我正尝试使用Microsoft PrintDocument,但在这种情况下将不起作用,因为我需要控制打印机后台处理程序以每五个打印一个新行,但在同一页上打印一个新行(而不是上一个)(连续)。至少就我的理解而言,这对于PrintDocument类是不可能的,因为您无法使用此类控制假脱机程序,并且每个打印命令都无法执行其作业,并且当作业完成时,打印机将滚动页面以供用户使用。如果有人知道是否有一种方法可以每5分钟在同一页面上继续打印一次,请分享信息或示例。

我使用的是Okidata Microline 186 USB点矩阵打印机,经过与其他第三方库的几次尝试,没有任何运气,我发现RawPrintHelper.cs类,并且正在尝试,并且能够将RAW数据发送到打印机这节课,但我有一些问题。班级在这里:

这是原始的班级代码:

Issues:
First problem was that it prints only using a file with this method "SendFileToPrinter":

    public static bool SendFileToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szFileName)
    {
        // Open the file.
        FileStream fs = new FileStream(szFileName, FileMode.Open);
        // Create a BinaryReader on the file.
        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
        // Dim an array of bytes big enough to hold the file's contents.
        Byte[] bytes = new Byte[fs.Length];
        bool bSuccess = false;
        // Your unmanaged pointer.
        IntPtr pUnmanagedBytes = new IntPtr(0);
        int nLength;

        nLength = Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length);
        // Read the contents of the file into the array.
        bytes = br.ReadBytes(nLength);
        // Allocate some unmanaged memory for those bytes.
        pUnmanagedBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);
        // Copy the managed byte array into the unmanaged array.
        Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Send the unmanaged bytes to the printer.
        bSuccess = SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);


   // Free the unmanaged memory that you allocated earlier.
    Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pUnmanagedBytes);
    return bSuccess;
}

但是,它不能完全正常工作,打印机头停留在页面的右侧,当它尝试再次打印时,它将在页面的右侧写上文本的开头,然后继续其余的文本。使用此方法的第二个选项将接收要打印的字符串:

public static bool SendStringToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szString)
{
    IntPtr pBytes;
    Int32 dwCount;

    // How many characters are in the string?
    // Fix from Nicholas Piasecki:
    // dwCount = szString.Length;
    dwCount = (szString.Length + 1) * Marshal.SystemMaxDBCSCharSize;

    // Assume that the printer is expecting ANSI text, and then convert
    // the string to ANSI text.
    pBytes = Marshal.StringToCoTaskMemAnsi(szString);
    // Send the converted ANSI string to the printer.
    SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pBytes, dwCount);
    Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes);
    return true;
} 

但是此方法不向打印机发送任何内容,打印机不开始打印。通过查看这两种方法,我从这两种功能中混合使用,最终我可以使用此代码进行打印,但与SendFileToPrinter一样存在对齐问题,如果我始终以每行的制表符分隔的相同格式发送文本,则不会出现问题我发送到打印机的纸张对齐不正确。

这是我的代码:

        public static bool SendStringToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szString)
    {
        IntPtr pBytes;
        Int32 dwCount;
        bool bSuccess = false;
        IntPtr pUnmanagedBytes = new IntPtr(0);
        int nLength = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(szString).Length;
        // Dim an array of bytes big enough to hold the file's contents.
        Byte[] bytes = new Byte[nLength];
        bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(szString);
        // Allocate some unmanaged memory for those bytes.
        pUnmanagedBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);
        // Copy the managed byte array into the unmanaged array.
        Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Send the unmanaged bytes to the printer.
        bSuccess = SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Free the unmanaged memory that you allocated earlier.
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pUnmanagedBytes);
        return bSuccess;
    }

这是我需要打印的示例:

Expected Format

第一行是表的标题。然后每5分钟就会打印下一行,并显示数值。

即使在格式化字符串并用制表符分隔之后,它还是不一致的。

这就是我用科学怪人方法打印时得到的。

PAGE TITLE ... LINE 1 VAL3 VAL4 VAL1 VAL2
                                                       时间/日期DESC DESC DESC DESC ........ LINE 3                                        3/4/2019 11:30 AM 100300500434 ........第4行                          3/4/2019 11:35 AM 99290340452 ........第5行 3/4/2019 11:40 AM 120310100532 ........第6行

不一致,只有第一行可以打印并对齐。我是新手,它将原始数据发送到打印机,并且我每五分钟调用一次SendStringToPrinter(myString)方法时,这不会引起这种情况。我不知道我是否需要指定坐标或从何处开始打印都没有怎么做。

为解决此问题,我们将不胜感激。

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:0)

对于问题的第一部分,可以使用WritePrinter,因为它允许您发送原始字节。我没有读完所有代码的详细信息,因为对于这个问题,这太多了。

对于此问题的布局部分,该打印机看起来像期望的ESC / POS。这是command sheet。更新文本文件以符合这些命令,即页面格式部分。例如

ESC HT 12 Hello 08 World

将“世界”对齐到第8个字符的位置。您需要尝试使用这些命令才能找到有效的方法。如果您不熟悉ESC / POS,建议您使用notepad ++创建测试文件。如果启用字符面板(“编辑”->“字符面板”),则可以将任意ASCII代码注入文件中。上面的ESC / POS字符串为:

1b090cHello09World
