Label Printer

This is the label printer. WiP.

Drivers + entry in cups is on the SlabPi at the moment. Scripts in /home/labelprinter gets executed from Nurdbot. For now it's label.sh which takes an empty label and puts text in there using imagemagick which gets printed.

What hardware is this

  • Seiko SLP-650
  • 99014 Shipping Labels
  • Use 'paper size 'Shipping (SLP-SRL)

How to use

Via irc

  • Use !label

Tips for making excellent labels (tbd)

These tips are saved for posterity. For now only !label kan be used.

  • There is no grayscale, make images 1 bit color (and use floyd-steinberg (normal) dithering if needed, looks teh best :) )
  • There are a couple of previously printed labels in de homedir of user "printer" (/printerhome/ on Printer-desktop) which can easily be re-used.
  • For text only, you can use !label @ Nurdbot

label.sh

Script that is called to do the printing. 

#!/bin/bash
# Takes arguments and puts it as text in a templated label for our labelprinter
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]] ; then
    echo 'No arguments given, exiting...'
    exit 0
fi
echo $*
if [ "$(echo $1 | awk '{print substr($0,0,3)}')" == "0x" ] ; then
#This is a sanitised input from nurdbot.
#INPUT=$(python3 -c "print(bytes.fromhex('$1'.strip()[2:]).decode('utf8'))")
INPUT=$(python -c "print('$1'[2:].decode('hex'))")
else
INPUT="$*"
fi
echo $INPUT
cd /home/labelprinter/nurdbotlabelprinting/
cp empty.png output.png
convert output.png output.gif
convert output.gif -background none -font "Garuda.ttf"  -gravity Center\
 -size 744x377 caption:"$INPUT" -layers flatten output.gif

convert output.gif -rotate 90 output.gif

# lpr -PSII_SLP650 output.gif
# lp -o landscape -o fit-to-page -o media=Shipping -d SII_SLP650 output.gif

# print!
lp -d SII_SLP650 output.gif

# qiv output.gif
echo $INPUT >> label.log

#code for moving to next empty label but it's not reliable
#printf "\f" |lpr -P SLP650
