Class CitizenPrinter

totalcross.lang.Object
  totalcross.io.device.printer.BluetoothPrinter
      totalcross.io.device.printer.CitizenPrinter

public class CitizenPrinter
extends BluetoothPrinter

This class extends BluetoothPrinter to send special Citizen-like commands to the printer. Tested with Citizen CMP-10 thermal printer.

Instructions of how to setup the devices to work with the printer.

1. First, run the self-test: turning the printer off, and pressing the LF + ON button at the same time and then releasing the LF button.
2. Write down the last 2 bytes (4 letters) of the ADDRESS (E.G.: A4 08)
3. Discover the "Citizen Systems" printer with the PDA.
4. When asked for the PIN (password), write the last 4 letters of the address in UPPER CASE (E.G.: A408); if it fails, write it in lower case (E.G.: a408).
5. That's it. In some devices, you can choose to always use this printer as default bluetooth device.

You can add other commands by looking at this reference.
