Can't print other languages properly

[doufu060514]

Hi, I have a TM-T82IIIL printer and using latest version of the package. Can successfully initialize and print the english text. But it can't print other lanaguages like chinese or japanese properly (success if print with epson app). Example code & print results could be found below, any suggestion would be appricated

`
EscPosPrinter.init({
target: 'TCP:192.168.50.222',
seriesName: 'EPOS2_TM_T82',
language: 'EPOS2_LANG_JA',
})

printing
.initialize()
.align('center')
.size(3, 3)
.line('アラビア語!')
.smooth(true)
.cut()
.send();

or

EscPosPrinter.init({
target: 'TCP:192.168.50.222',
seriesName: 'EPOS2_TM_T82',
language: 'EPOS2_LANG_ZH_CN', // Also tried EPOS2_LANG_ZH_TW
})

printing
.initialize()
.align('center')
.size(3, 3)
.line('你好!')
.smooth(true)
.cut()
.send();

@doufu060514 hi !

@tr3v3r can we print arabic somehow? or any workaround?

Cool, I got a update on it, sorry for the late reply because i was waiting for the printer to be shipped from AU.

Might be silly but wish could at least help someone in future.

Thanks for another post regarding japenses mentioned "ANK", so what I have found from this hint is check the EPSON printer specification, if your one only has "ANK" in the characters, it can't print the other language properly even set the language code. Make sure the printer specification contains the characters (same serials may have different characters deponds on the country) you are using and should be able to print properly with it.

BTW guys you can use the beta version of this lib with a reworked printing approach.
It resolves almost all known issues including this one with hardcoded ANK value.
