PosPrinter

POS Printer Sample

This sample demonstrates the use of the Windows.Devices.PointOfService.PosPrinter API.

Specifically, this sample shows how to:

1. Receipt printer basic operation

   This scenario demonstrates how to find, claim, and enable a receipt printer and then allows the user to print a line or a sample receipt.

2. Receipt printer error handling

   This scenario demonstrates how to check for error conditions during basic printer operation, and reports any errors to the user.

3. Multiple instances of receipt printers

   This scenario demonstrates the claim/release model used by the POS Printer API by allowing the user to manager two printer instances with UI controls for claiming, retaining, and releasing the printer objects.
