I have seen specifications of the printer but they just provide data for non technical So what you need is the technical specifications! Might be called something like "programmers guide"...? But why do you particularly want to do this on an 8051? Wouldn't it make far more sense to just let the 8051 capture the data, pass it to a PC, and then let the PC do the fancy graphics work? A PC is far better suited to this task, I think. |
