Properties

Capabilities	Gets the capabilities of the point-of-service printer.
DeviceId	Gets the identifier of the point-of-service printer.
Status	Gets the current status of the power and availability of the point-of-service printer.
SupportedBarcodeSymbologies	Gets the barcode symbologies that the point-of-service printer supports.
SupportedCharacterSets	Gets the list of character sets that the point-of-service printer supports.
SupportedTypeFaces	Gets the fonts and typefaces that the point-of-service printer supports.

Methods

CheckHealthAsync(UnifiedPosHealthCheckLevel)	Gets the health state of the point-of-service printer asynchronously.
ClaimPrinterAsync()	Claims the point-of-service printer for use, and gets an instance of the ClaimedPosPrinter class for the point-of-service printer.
Close()	Close the POS printer session. For C++ and JavaScript, use Close(). For C# and Visual Basic, use Dispose().
Dispose()	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
FromIdAsync(String)	Creates a PosPrinter object for point-of-service printer with the specified DeviceInformation.Id.
GetDefaultAsync()	Gets the default paired or locally-connected printer.
GetDeviceSelector()	Gets an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string that you can use to list the available point-of-service printers.
GetDeviceSelector(PosConnectionTypes)	Gets an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) string that you can use to list the point-of-service printers available over the specified connection types
GetFontProperty(String)	Gets the specified font property from the point-of-service printers.
GetStatisticsAsync(IIterable<String>)	Gets the specified statistics from the point-of-service printer.

Events

StatusUpdated

Occurs when the status of the power or availability of the point-of-service printer changes.
