Printing via Bluetooth

To discover printers use the discoverPrinters function. You can pass in the option parameters printerName to change the printer name, or V6 to enable ipv6 detection. Both parameters can be left blank.

import { printImageViaBluetooth } from "react-native-brother-printing";

const modelName = 'QL-820NWB';

printImageViaBluetooth(imageUri, modelName)

Printing via Wifi

import { printImageViaWifi } from "react-native-brother-printing";

const ipAddress = '192.168.1.18';
const modelName = 'QL-820NWB';

printImageViaWifi(imageUri, ipAddress, modelName)
