regarding project

[Rahul Ray]

Good afternoon sir,

                               sir i want to interface an serial printer with 8051 microcontroller.Can it be possible to interface this?????????

If yes,then suggest me some ideas regarding this.plz

Hi Rahul,

 Suggest you to try out this project first

http://www.engineersgarage.com/microcontroller/8051projects/interface-serialport-RS232-AT89C51-circuit

 

Now all you have to do is to go through the datasheet of your printer and send or receive the data format mentioned for printer initialization and printing.

Hi,

 

First you must learn how to send and receive data using UART. Its very easy and you can find that on tutorials.

 

Do you have a datasheet of printer ? First go through it and you will find series of data to initialise the printer. You will also get commands for configuring font size, go to new line etc.

 

You just have to use serial communication function to send those datas one by one.

 

All the best.

for any printer it is most important to generate handshaking signals. read complete datasheet of the printer that you want to interface and try to develop flow-chart / algorithm that how you will generate this signals and initialize/configure printer
