Triggers via API Functions

Print HTML Element on Page

This function prints an element on the page based on the id attribute. For example, if your page has <p id="print">Print me</p> you can print only this <p> tag by setting the "elementId" parameter to the id "print".

kp_BixolonPrinter_printHTMLElement(elementId, cut);
		

Print HTML String

This function prints a specific HTML string that you define. This is useful if you do not want to include the printed element on the page. For example, you can define this as <p style="font-size: 30px">Print me</p>.

Print Page via URL

This function prints a specific page or document from a URL. This is useful if you want to print a PDF, for example. Note: this cannot print files stored locally on the device.
