SDK (Software Development Kit)
Download the source code for our apps, and see how you could introduce Bluetooth printing to your application.
Our SDK consists of a Java service class which handles the Bluetooth connection, and can be bound to any activity in your own app.
From there, lean on our comprehensive programmer’s guides to easily control and monitor your printer.
Embedded Solutions
At Able, you’ll find printers with a wide range of interfaces – RS232 serial, USB, Bluetooth, and more.
