ppla-builder

An easy way to build labels in ppla (printer programming language A).

I started this project as a way to get used to the printer programming language A,
accepted by the Argox OS series (and others Argox printers). The main goal was to build easier the output for the printer, abstracting the need of knowing the exactly order of the configurations for a simple print line.

This project has no intent of covering all the commands available in the language, neither do complex configurations and generate complex print commands.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install ppla-builder

var pplaBuilder = require('ppla-builder');

Documentation

(Coming soon)

Examples

   var pplaBuilder = require('ppla-builder');
   pplaBuilder.rotation(pplaBuilder.DIRECTIONS.LANDSCAPE)
                      .fontType(pplaBuilder.FONT_TYPE[':'].value)
                      .fontSubType(pplaBuilder.COURIER_SUBTYPES.ECMA94)
                      .hScale(5)
                      .vScale(3)
                      .x(100)
                      .y(150)
                      .label('This is a test label');
