Discovering a printer
To discover printers use the discoverPrinters function. You can pass in the option parameters printerName
to change
the printer name, or V6 to enable ipv6 detection. Both parameters can be left blank.
import {
discoverPrinters,
registerBrotherListener,
} from "@ivanstoilov/react-native-brother-printers";
discoverPrinters({
V6: true,
});
registerBrotherListener("onDiscoverPrinters", (printers) => {
// Store these printers somewhere
});
Printing an image
To print an image, using the printImage
function, with the first parameter being the printer found during discover,
the second being the uri of the image you want to print, and the third being an objective that contains the label size.
You can find a list of LabelSize and LabelNames inside the package as well.
import {printImage, LabelSize} from "@ivanstoilov/react-native-brother-printers";
await printImage(printer, uri, {labelSize: LabelSize.LabelSizeRollW62RB});
