# ParallelPrinter
|

|

Arduino library that implements a parallel printer (driver) - implements the PRINT interface
|
||||
Arduino library that implements a parallel printer (driver) - implements the PRINT interface.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
This library defines a parallel printer object.
|
||||
|
||||
It implements the **Print interface** to be able to print all datatypes using **write()**, **print()** and **println()**
|
||||
It implements the **Print interface** to be able to print all data types
|
||||
using **write()**, **print()** and **println()**.
|
||||
The printer writes every byte over 8 parallel lines including a **STROBE** (clock) pulse,
|
||||
while waiting for the connected printer not to be **BUSY** or **OUT OF PAPER**.
|
||||
while waiting for the connected printer not to be **BUSY** or **OUT OF PAPER** (OOP).
|
||||
|
||||
This library is meant to be a starting point to make a "printer driver" for a
|
||||
specific parallel printer. These can often be bought in 2nd hand stores or so.

|
||||
### Constructor
|
||||
|
||||
- **ParallelPrinter()** uses default pins (13, 2, 12, \[3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\])
|
||||
- **ParallelPrinter(strobe, busy, oop, arr)** define 3 control pins + 8 datapins (= arr)
|
||||
- **begin(linelength, pagelength)** set line and page length parameters
|
||||
- **ParallelPrinter(uint8_t strobe, uint8_t busy, uint8_t oop, uint8_t \*arr)**
|
||||
define 3 control pins + 8 data pins (= arr\[8\]).
|
||||
- **void begin(uint8_t lineLength, uint8_t pageLength)** set line and page length parameters
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Print interface
|
||||
- **write(c)** send a single byte to printer, implements Print interface.
|
||||
Therefor all **print()** and **println()** functions will work.
|
||||
- **formfeed()** to eject current page or forced go to the next page.
|
||||
- **linefeed()** send a linefeed. The number of actual lines is set by **setLineFeed()**
|
||||
|
||||
- **size_t write(uint8_t c)** send a single byte to printer, implements Print interface.
|
||||
Therefore all **print()** and **println()** functions will work.
|
||||
- **void formfeed()** to eject current page or forced go to the next page.
|
||||
- **void linefeed()** send a linefeed.
|
||||
The number of actual lines is set by **setLineFeed()**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Config
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
These settings are pretty straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
- **setLineLength(lineLength)** idem
|
||||
- **getLineLength()** returns the current line length.
|
||||
- **setPageLength(pageLength)** idem
|
||||
- **getPageLength()** returns the current page length.
|
||||
- **getLineNumber()** returns current line number.
|
||||
- **getPageNumber()** returns current page number.
|
||||
- **getPosition()** returns the position on a line.
|
||||
- **setTabSize(tabsize)** tabs are replaced by spaces. n can be 0 or any size!
|
||||
- **getTabSize()** returns tabSize set
|
||||
- **setLineFeed(lineFeeds)** lineFeeds = 1,2,3 1 = default
|
||||
- **getLineFeed()** returns lineFeeds set
|
||||
- **printLineNr(bool)** can be set to true, false
|
||||
- **void setLineLength(uint8_t lineLength)** idem
|
||||
- **uint8_t getLineLength()** returns the current line length.
|
||||
- **void setPageLength(uint8_t pageLength)** idem
|
||||
- **uint8_t getPageLength()** returns the current page length.
|
||||
- **uint8_t getLineNumber()** returns current line number.
|
||||
- **uint8_t getPageNumber()** returns current page number.
|
||||
- **uint8_t getPosition()** returns the position on a line.
|
||||
- **uint8_t setTabSize(uint8_t tabsize)** tabs are replaced by spaces. n can be 0 or any size!
|
||||
- **uint8_t getTabSize()** returns tabSize set
|
||||
- **void setLineFeed(uint8_t lineFeeds)** lineFeeds = 1,2,3 1 = default.
|
||||
- **uint8_t getLineFeed()** returns lineFeeds set
|
||||
- **void printLineNr(bool b)** can be set to true, false.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Expert mode
|
||||
|
||||
- **isOutOfPaper()** to check paper tray before printing starts.
|
||||
- **setStrobeDelay(n = 2000)** make the strobe pulse shorter == faster printing
|
||||
allows tuning of performance. Default value = 2000. Time in microseconds.
|
||||
- **getStrobeDelay()** returns value set.
|
||||
- **bool isOutOfPaper()** to check paper tray before printing starts.
|
||||
- **void setStrobeDelay(uint16_t n = 2000)** allows tuning of performance.
|
||||
Make the strobe pulse shorter == faster printing (printer dependant).
|
||||
Default value = 2000. Time in microseconds.
|
||||
- **uint16_t getStrobeDelay()** returns value set.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** mechanical printers e.g. dot matrix, really do need a way to stop receiving
|
||||
data as they do not have large buffers.

## Future
|
||||
|
||||
- Make a front end of a parallel printer, that accepts the clocked bytes and print them
|
||||
- update documentation
|
||||
- extend unit tests?
|
||||
- test more
|
||||
- extend simulator sketch
|
||||
- Make a front end of a parallel printer,
|
||||
- Accepts the clocked bytes and print them e.g. over serial.
|
||||
- derive e.g. an HP or an EPSON printer from this class.
|
||||
- special modes e.g. bold italic underline
