前言

就在上一篇部落格有寫如何使用C#系統方法進行串列埠通訊，但是否能進行USB控制印表機尚未測試，但原本就有一種方式去控制USB連線的印表機，而且以這種方式並不是輸入指令，可能更容易被理解。

其中還有一個很重要的知識點，就是如何在C#中引用非C#的DLL檔案，這才是本文的精華。

一、引用非C#的DLL檔案

直接在References中引用DLL的方法對於非C#的DLL檔案是不可行的，反而會出現以下問題。

1、導包

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

2、如何使用

需要將DLL放在Bin路徑下，在bin路徑下如果再包一個資料夾也是可以的（如Resources/……），但指明的位置要準確，DLL檔名不區分大小寫，此DLL可在網上搜尋下載。

    public class TSCLibDLL
    {
        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "about")]
        public static extern int about();

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "openport")]
        public static extern int openport(string printername);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll
 
", EntryPoint = "barcode")]
        public static extern int barcode(string x, string y, string type,string height,
        string readable, string rotation,string narrow, string wide, string code);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "clearbuffer")]
        public static extern int
 
 clearbuffer();

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "closeport")]
        public static extern int closeport();

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "downloadpcx")]
        public static extern int downloadpcx(string filename, string image_name);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "formfeed")]
        public static extern int formfeed();

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "nobackfeed")]
        public static extern int nobackfeed();

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "printerfont")]
        public static extern int printerfont(string x, string y, string fonttype,
        string rotation, string xmul, string ymul,string text);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "printlabel")]
        public static extern int printlabel(string set, string copy);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "sendcommand")]
        public static extern int sendcommand(string printercommand);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "setup")]
        public static extern int setup(string width, string height,string speed, 
                     string density,string sensor, string vertical,string offset);

        [DllImport("Resources/TSCLIB.dll", EntryPoint = "windowsfont")]
        public static extern int windowsfont(int x, int y, int fontheight, int rotation, 
        int fontstyle, int fontunderline,string szFaceName, string content);
  
    }

二、使用USB介面控制印表機

前面一部分將DLL中的方法宣告，後面正常呼叫即可

private void usbPrint()
{
    var res = TSCLibDLL.openport("USB");
    if (res == 0) return;//介面未開啟
    TSCLibDLL.setup("30", "14.4", "2", "10", "0", "3.2", "0");//設定長寬等要素，可自行實驗
    TSCLibDLL.clearbuffer();//Clear image buffer
    TSCLibDLL.windowsfont(40, 5, 25, 0, 2, 0, "Arial", "Printer Header");//first row  
    TSCLibDLL.barcode("30", "35", "EAN13", "60", "1", "0", "3", "6", "Barcode12345"); //Drawing barcode
    TSCLibDLL.windowsfont(30, 130, 20, 0, 2, 0, "Arial", "Printer Footer"); //third row
    TSCLibDLL.printlabel("1", "1");
    TSCLibDLL.closeport(); //Close specified printer driver
}
