jZebra jquery plugins

[Erik Lukiman]

Tres,

I've created a jQuery plugin that can simplified the development for template for printing. and can be used to show preview what will be printed.

for example, to print a box of 10 character spaces, you can use :

<table width="10"><tr><td>tes</td></tr></table>

<div class="dPrint topLeft drawLine[repeat[10]] topRight newLine">

<div class="dPrint vLine"></div><div class="dPrint format[left[10]]">tes</div><div class="dPrint vLine newLine"></div>

<div class="dPrint bottomLeft drawLine[repeat[10]] bottomRight newLine"></div>

<script>

directPrint.setPrinterName('LX300');

directPrint.init('.dPrint'); //this is simply a jQuery selector

//directPrint.printFile('logo.prn'); -> to print image  .prn

directPrint.print();

</script>

the plugins can even extended to print character that hadn't been included in the first place.

It can clip the text if the content is longer than reserved space.

It's been used with jquery-1.5.2 and jquery-1.4.3.

I know that the sample is seem to simple and is worthless, but I've been using it to print billing and invoice. 

if anyone is interesed I'm happy to give more complex examples

Thanks Erik.

Is the template logic driven by esc/p, zpl, or epl?  Also, is there asynchronous (Ajax) logic included to "wait" for readiness?  Jzebra needs help in this area.

Tres,

the plugins is extendable to include support for different printers.
currently the built-in support is for epson (LX-300).
i plan to extend the plugins so that it can change the navite escape
command for different printers just by selecting the escape command
preset group.
and for wait for readiness, i've included it in the code, so everytime
it receive command to print, it will check the printer status first.

@el kachchani yassine: sorry but i haven't have time yet to make a
complex example that specially design for demo purpose. right now,
i've used it to print to barcode printer LP8t, TM-U220, and LX-300
with ease :)
in TM-U220 i even can print using the red ribbon.

@Erik we're still talking about your plugin right ? where can we have it ? I think we should give it an extensive set of tests and put it in the site.

I'd suggest adding it to the downloads section as a separate file with a version number.  If you need a login to contribute content, tell me which google I'd you normally use and I'll add it to the googlecode site.

@el kachchani:
u can download it from my first post in this thread.

@tres:
currently i'm using this google id, so u can add it to the googlecode
and right now, i've been synchronize this google email with my bb :)

i have discussed with my colleague to further extend my plugins, so
that in the future u can just add a class marker to a table, and then
the plugin will do the rest to print it with the full table display
intact :)
