Thermal printer: Japanese/Chinese characters

Postby MartijnK1 » Tue May 15, 2012 9:43 am

Hi Everyone,

I'm just starting out with the Thermal Printer that I received a couple of days ago but I can't seem to be able to print Japanese characters (hiragana and katakana).
The data sheet of the printer tells me that it supports GB2312-80(Chinese) but I cannot figure out how to send them over serial to print (just ASSCI works fine).
I'm rather new to the whole Arduino environment and programming so it might be something small that I need to do, but I cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks in advance! :]!!

Kind regards,
MartijnK1

P.S. Im using the'library provided by Adafruit.
