Interface printer with Matlab to print out qr code image

I am using Grozzie A6 thermal printer TP518 to print qr code image. I have to use Matlab to interface with the printer and write a Matlab script that everytime I run the script the printer will print out the qr code. How can I do it?

It appears that printer has a USB B connector on it, and probably comes with a USB-A to USB-B cable.

It appears that it is intended to be used with a vendor supplied printer driver. It probably shows up as a regular printer to the system.

Unfortunately, there is very little information available about that model that I can find. Although I can see it listed for sale in a small number of places, it appears to have been mostly replaced by TP800 series printers.

I suspect that unless you do a bunch of interface work, that you will be limited to one of the following:

• use matlab print()
• create a pdf or image file and use system() to call Windows print routines ; or
• create a pdf or image file and use the .NET interfaces to call Windows print routines.

There might be other possibilities if sufficient work was put into the task.

The function print will help you print out what's in your figure.

For example,

bar(1:10) % Whatever you plot
print % will be printed
