JSPrintManager Components
The Website/Javascript component
JSPrintManager is a Javascript object which is used in your website to generate "Client Print Jobs". A Client Print Job allows you to specify which client printer to use (Default, one specific Printer Name, show system Printer dialog box or some LPT, Bluetooth, TCP/IP or RS232 COM port) as well as the commands or files you want to print or send to the specified client printer.

The JSPrintManager App needs to be installed at the client machine just once. It's a lightweight native app (without any dependencies) that processes all the "Client Print Jobs" generated by the Javascript object. JSPrintManager App can be installed on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android & Raspberry Pi! It also can be configured as a dedicated Print Service to support printing from Mobile & Sandboxed Devices

Print RAW data and commands to a full range of Client Printers from your Website
What's Raw Printing?
Raw Printing (a.k.a. "Raw Data Printing", "DOS-Mode Printing", "Line-Mode Printing") is the process of sending a stream of bytes (sometimes simple ASCII characters) directly to the target printer hardware. Those bytes are expressed by following the syntax and rules of the Command Language (a.k.a. Programming Language) supported by the target printer. Some Raw Printing Languages are composed of human-readable ASCII characters (like Zebra ZPL, EPL, etc) while others combine them with non-printable characters like is the case of the famous ESC/P, Postscript and PCL languages. Our JSPrintManager allows you to send those commands to your clients' printers from your website through an elegant and simple plugin-free approach.
