After power on this printer starts advertising bluetooth packets.

As you can see on the screenshot this device supports bluetooth classic and bluetooth low energy protocols.

Advertising packet contains two services:

UUID = 0x18F0 (000018f0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) – its a standard battery service

UUID = e7810a71-73ae-499d-8c15-faa9aef0c3f2 – its a custom service

Connect to printer by bluetooth and discover services:

    There are 4 services:

    uuid=”000018f0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb” (battery)

    uuid=”0000fee7-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb” (Custom UUID of Tencent Holdings Limited)

    uuid=”e7810a71-73ae-499d-8c15-faa9aef0c3f2″ (Custom printer service)

    uuid=”49535343-fe7d-4ae5-8fa9-9fafd205e455″ (ISSC Proprietary Service, UART ISSC dual mode)

    and characteristics:
    (Battery service)
    (Custom UUID of Tencent Holdings Limited)
    (ISSC Proprietary Service)
    (Custom printer service)
    To print a text we try to use characteristic uuid=”bef8d6c9-9c21-4c9e-b632-bd58c1009f9f” but in fact write operation is not available for this characteristic.

    We able to print a text using another characteristic uuid=”49535343-8841-43f4-a8d4-ecbe34729bb3″ (ISSC Transparent RX)

    You could prepare commands manually or use a library. For example:

    “com.github.anastaciocintra:escpos-coffee:4.1.0”

    To print “CITRUSDEV” you should convert this text into UTF-8 hex bytes (ASCII table) and add LF CR in hex (new line)


    //text.toByteArray(Charsets.UTF_8)

    val bytes = byteArrayOf(0x43, 0x49, 0x54, 0x52, 0x55, 0x53, 0x44, 0x45, 0x56, 0x0A, 0x0D)

    val characteristic: BluetoothGattCharacteristic = bluetoothGatt.getService(serviceUUID).getCharacteristic(characteristicUUID)

    characteristic.value = bytes

    characteristic.writeType = BluetoothGattCharacteristic.WRITE_TYPE_NO_RESPONSE

    bluetoothGatt.writeCharacteristic(characteristic)

    You could set different text style, alignment, font size or print image by sending ESC command (0x1B) and params.
