Content Media Types
In general, CloudPRNT follows the common internet MIME content type names for print job data such as JPEG, PNG, text. However, CloudPRNT does support some original data formats and for this we will introduce new content type string names.
Supported Media Type List
| Data Format | Media Type |
|---|---|
| Star Thermal Line Mode | application/vnd.star.line |
| Star Matrix Line Mode | application/vnd.star.linematrix |
| Star Raster | application/vnd.star.raster |
| Star PRNT Mode | application/vnd.star.starprnt |
| Star PRNT Core | application/vnd.star.starprntcore |
| Star PNG | image/vnd.star.png |
The HI01X interface supports the following media types:
text/plain, image/png, image/jpeg, application/vnd.star.line, application/vnd.star.raster, application/vnd.star.starprntcore, application/octet-stream
The HI02X interface supports the following media types:
text/plain, image/png, image/jpeg, application/vnd.star.linematrix,
application/octet-stream
The mC-Print2/3 supports the following media types:
text/plain, image/png, application/vnd.star.starprnt, image/vnd.star.png, application/vnd.star.starprntcore, application/octet-stream
Note:
if sending raw command data for printing then it is not recommended to use application/octet-stream. Instead please use the appropriate vnd.star.* content types. This way the interface can select the most appropriate available type and can avoid attempting to write incompatible command data to the printer.
The "application/vnd.star.starprntcore"(*) can be specified for printing job data that can be used for both of the star line emulation printer and the starprnt emulation printer.
(*)Supported by HI01X: V1.5.1 or later, mC-Print2/3: V1.4 or later.
