Detailed Description

A class used to obtain the status of a Zebra printer.

Get the current status of a printer.

@code 

#import "TcpPrinterConnection.h" #import "ZebraPrinterFactory.h" #import "ZebraPrinter.h" #import "PrinterStatus.h" #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

TcpPrinterConnection *zebraPrinterConnection = [[TcpPrinterConnection alloc] initWithAddress:"192.168.1.100" andWithPort:9100]; BOOL success = [zebraPrinterConnection open]; NSError *error = nil; id<ZebraPrinter, NSObject> printer = [ZebraPrinterFactory getInstance:zebraPrinterConnection error:&error];

PrinterStatus *printerStatus = [printer getCurrentStatus:&error]; if (printerStatus.isReadyToPrint) { NSLog("Ready To Print"); } else if (printerStatus.isPaused) { NSLog("Cannot Print because the printer is paused."); } else if (printerStatus.isHeadOpen) { NSLog("Cannot Print because the printer head is open."); } else if (printerStatus.isPaperOut) { NSLog("Cannot Print because the paper is out."); } else { NSLog("Cannot Print."); }

if (error != nil || printer == nil || success == NO) { UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:"Error" message:[error localizedDescription] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil]; [errorAlert show]; [errorAlert release]; }
