Methods

(static) print(configs, data, …argumentsopt) → {Promise.<(null|Error)>}

Send data to selected config for printing. The promise for this method will resolve when the document has been sent to the printer. Actual printing may not be complete.

Optionally, print requests can be pre-signed: Signed content consists of a JSON object string containing no spacing, following the format of the "call" and "params" keys in the API call, with the addition of a "timestamp" key in milliseconds ex. '{"call":"","params":{...},"timestamp":1450000000}'

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
configs Object.<Config> | Array.<Object.<Config>> Previously created config object or objects.
data Array.<(Object|string)> | Array.<Array.<(Object|string)>> Array of data being sent to the printer.
String values are interpreted as {type: 'raw', format: 'command', flavor: 'plain', data: <string>}.
