# XML::Printer::ESCPOS [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sonntagd/XML-Printer-ESCPOS.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sonntagd/XML-Printer-ESCPOS) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/sonntagd/XML-Printer-ESCPOS/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/sonntagd/XML-Printer-ESCPOS?branch=master) ## DESCRIPTION This module provides a markup language that describes what your ESCPOS printer should do. It works on top of the great and easy to use [Printer::ESCPOS](https://metacpan.org/pod/Printer::ESCPOS). Now you can save your printer output in an XML file and you can write templates to be processed by Template Toolkit or the template engine of your choice. ## SYNOPSIS ```perl use Printer::ESCPOS; use XML::Printer::ESCPOS; # connect to your printer, see Printer::ESCPOS for more examples my $device = Printer::ESCPOS->new( driverType => 'Network', deviceIp => '192.168.0.10', devicePort => 9100, ); my $parser = XML::Printer::ESCPOS->new(printer => $device->printer); $parser->parse(q# bold text underlined text #) or die "Error parsing ESCPOS XML file: ".$parser->errormessage; $device->printer->cutPaper(); $device->printer->print(); ``` ## HOW TO WRITE ESCPOS XML FILES The XML file should be enclosed in `` ... `` tags. ## TODO See the separate ToDo list [here](TODO.md). ## INSTALLATION To install this module, use `cpanm`: ```bash cpanm XML::Printer::ESCPOS ``` ## SUPPORT AND BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests by opening an [issue on Github](https://github.com/sonntagd/XML-Printer-ESCPOS/issues). ## LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2017 Dominic Sonntag.
