Android Brother SDK Label Print Encoding - diacritics

Question

I am using Brother SDK to print labels with P-touch template. I have my own template (only with two texts, nothing complicated) in my Brother QL-820NWB label printer.

The printing is working but I have a problem with diacritics. For example "Jan Vomáčka" is not printed correctly. (Problem is á and č)

I'm using this code from their SDK manual:

//Specify the template key and the printer encode
if (startPTTPrint(templateKey, null)) 

And instead of null, I tried to set different types of encoding (UTF-8, CP-1250, ...) but nothing works correctly.

I'm not sure what should I change? Maybe something in the label template? But I think I have to somehow set correctly encoding and that will work. But how? What should I set?

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

Are you using Ptouch editor for creating template? Try creating template with the default encoding and try transfering template with replaceText by object name in template print.

I have the same objective but it also consist image. It works perfect with text but as you know sdk currently doesn't support replacing image in template type printing.

Answer 2

I got it working with "ISO-8859-1".
