|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Your Label Printer application now has a modern Kivy-based GUI interface! This guide will help you get started.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Bash Script
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x start_gui.sh
|
||||
./start_gui.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Manual
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install -r requirements_gui.txt
|
||||
python3 label_printer_gui.py
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Printer Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Available Printers
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
lpstat -p -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add a Printer (if needed)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use CUPS web interface
|
||||
http://localhost:631
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Printer Names
|
||||
- `PDF` - Virtual PDF printer (for testing)
|
||||
- `Brother_HL_L2350DW` - Brother laser printer
|
||||
- `Canon_PIXMA` - Canon printer
|
||||
- Check your system for exact name
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "No Printers Found"
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start CUPS service
|
||||
sudo systemctl start cups
|
||||
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
sudo systemctl status cups
|
||||
|
||||
# List printers
|
||||
lpstat -p -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Preview Not Updating
|
||||
- Check Python console for errors
|
||||
- Verify all dependencies installed: `pip list | grep -E 'kivy|barcode|pillow'`
|
||||
- Try restarting the application
|
||||
|
||||
### Print Fails
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test print command manually
|
||||
echo "test" | lp -d PDF
|
||||
|
||||
# Check printer status
|
||||
lpstat -p -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Kivy Window Issues
|
||||
- If window doesn't open, check X11 display:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo $DISPLAY
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Resize window manually if elements overlap
|
||||
|
||||
## File Guide
|
||||
|
||||
- **label_printer_gui.py** - Main GUI application
|
||||
- **print_label.py** - Core printing functions
|
||||
- **setup_and_run.py** - Automatic setup script
|
||||
- **start_gui.sh** - Bash launcher script
|
||||
- **requirements_gui.txt** - Python dependencies
|
||||
- **README_GUI.md** - Complete documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips & Tricks
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fast Printing:**
|
||||
- Preset SAP number as most common value
|
||||
- Just change quantity/ID for each label
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Batch Printing:**
|
||||
- Print one label at a time
|
||||
- Small UI makes it quick
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Testing:**
|
||||
- Use "PDF" printer to save test labels
|
||||
- Check output files to verify format
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Keyboard:**
|
||||
- Tab between fields
|
||||
- Enter in printer dropdown to confirm selection
|
||||
- Alt+P might activate Print button (Kivy dependent)
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
- **Learn More:** See [README_GUI.md](README_GUI.md)
|
||||
- **Customize:** Modify `label_printer_gui.py` for your needs
|
||||
- **Integrate:** Use functions in other Python applications

|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Python 3.7 or higher
|
||||
- CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) - usually pre-installed on Linux
|
||||
- System printer configured and installed
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install dependencies:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install -r requirements_gui.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Install Kivy garden dependencies** (if using matplotlib preview):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
garden install matplotlib
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Ensure system printer is configured:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check available printers
|
||||
lpstat -p -d
|
||||
|
||||
# Or using CUPS web interface
|
||||
# Open: http://localhost:631
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Run the GUI Application
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python label_printer_gui.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Operation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enter Label Data:**
|
||||
- Type the SAP Number in the first field
|
||||
- Enter the quantity (numbers only)
|
||||
- Enter the Cable Reel ID
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Monitor Preview:**
|
||||
- The preview updates automatically as you type
|
||||
- Shows combined barcode with all entered data
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Select Printer:**
|
||||
- Use the dropdown to select your target printer
|
||||
- Default is "PDF" if no other printers available
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Print:**
|
||||
- Click "PRINT LABEL" button
|
||||
- Wait for confirmation message
|
||||
- Label will print to selected printer
|
||||
|
||||
## Label Format
|
||||
|
||||
The label contains:
|
||||
- **Row 1:** SAP Number | Quantity | Cable ID (combined in barcode)
|
||||
- **Barcode:** Code128 format encoding the combined information
|
||||
- **Size:** 11.5 cm width × 8 cm height
|
||||
- **DPI:** 300 DPI for high-quality printing
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/srv/Label-design/
|
||||
├── print_label.py # Core printing functions
|
||||
├── label_printer_gui.py # Kivy GUI application
|
||||
├── requirements.txt # Original dependencies
|
||||
├── requirements_gui.txt # GUI-specific dependencies
|
||||
└── how_to.txt # Original documentation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No printers detected
|
||||
- Check CUPS service: `sudo systemctl status cups`
|
||||
- List printers: `lpstat -p`
|
||||
- Restart CUPS if needed: `sudo systemctl restart cups`
|
||||
|
||||
### Preview not updating
|
||||
- Ensure all input fields are properly connected
|
||||
- Check console for error messages
|
||||
- Verify PIL/Pillow installation: `python -c "from PIL import Image; print('OK')"`
|
||||
|
||||
### Print fails
|
||||
- Verify printer name is correct
|
||||
- Check printer status: `lpstat -p -d`
|
||||
- Test direct print: `echo "test" | lp -d printername`
|
||||
- Ensure CUPS daemon is running
|
||||
|
||||
### Kivy window sizing issues
|
||||
- The app defaults to 1600×900 window
|
||||
- Can be resized freely after launch
|
||||
- Modify `Window.size = (1600, 900)` in code to change default
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Integration
|
||||
|
||||
To integrate the printing function into other applications:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from print_label import print_label_standalone
|
||||
|
||||
# Print a label
|
||||
success = print_label_standalone(
|
||||
value="YOUR_TEXT",
|
||||
printer="printername",
|
||||
preview=0 # 0=no preview, 1-3=3s preview, >3=5s preview
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **kivy**: GUI framework
|
||||
- **python-barcode**: Barcode generation
|
||||
- **pillow**: Image processing
|
||||
- **pycups**: CUPS printer interface
|
||||
- **matplotlib**: (Optional) For advanced visualization
|
||||
|
||||
## License
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the existing print_label.py printing framework.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- All data is combined into a single barcode for easy scanning
|
||||
- Labels are printed at 300 DPI for sharp quality
|
||||
- Temporary files are cleaned up automatically
|
||||
- Printing happens in background threads to prevent UI blocking
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## UI Layout Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Main Layout
|
||||

|
||||
BoxLayout (horizontal)
|
||||
├── Left Column (40%)
|
||||
│ BoxLayout (vertical)
|
||||
│ ├── Title Label
|
||||
│ ├── ScrollView
|
||||

└── LabelPreviewWidget
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling

|
||||
- Print Button: `(0.2, 0.6, 0.2, 1)` - Green
|
||||
- Background: Default Kivy theme
|
||||
- Text: Black on white/gray
|
||||
|
||||
**Fonts:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Right column: 60% of width
|
||||
|
||||
## Threading Model
|
||||
|
||||
### Background Printing
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def print_label(self, instance):
|
||||
# ... validation ...
|
||||
|
||||
popup = Popup(...) # Show loading
|
||||
popup.open()
|
||||
|
||||
def print_thread():
|
||||
try:
|
||||
success = print_label_standalone(...)
|
||||
# Update UI in main thread
|
||||
popup.dismiss()
|
||||
self.show_popup(...)
|
||||
except Exception as e:
|
||||
# Error handling
|
||||
self.show_popup("Error", str(e))
|
||||
|
||||
thread = threading.Thread(target=print_thread)
|
||||
thread.daemon = True
|
||||
thread.start()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why threading?**
|
||||
- Prevents UI freezing during print
|
||||
- CUPS operations can be slow
|
||||
- User can continue working while printing
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Input Validation:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if not sap_nr and not quantity and not cable_id:
|
||||
show_popup("Error", "Please enter at least one field")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Printer Validation:**
|
||||
- Fallback to "PDF" if none available
|
||||
- Checks printer existence before print
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Exception Handling:**
|
||||
- Try-except in preview generation
|
||||
- Try-except in print thread
|
||||
- User-friendly error messages
|
||||
|
||||
### Logging
|
||||
|
||||
- Console output for debugging
|
||||
- Error messages in popups
|
||||
- Exception info in thread callbacks
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Preview Updates
|
||||
|
||||
- Only regenerates label when text changes
|
||||
- Debouncing happens naturally via Kivy events
|
||||
- PIL image operations are fast (~100ms)
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
|
||||
- Temporary files auto-deleted
|
||||
- PIL images cached during preview
|
||||
- Temp preview file cleaned when updated
|
||||
|
||||
### CUPS Operations
|
||||
|
||||
- Non-blocking via threading
|
||||
- Timeout handling for printer ops
|
||||
- Connection pooled by pycups
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization Guide

||||
In `print_label.py`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Modify label dimensions
|
||||
label_width = 1063 # pixels for 9cm @ 300 DPI
|
||||
label_height = 591 # pixels for 5cm @ 300 DPI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For 11.5cm × 8cm @ 300 DPI:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
label_width = 1378 # 11.5cm @ 300 DPI
|
||||
label_height = 944 # 8cm @ 300 DPI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Modify UI Colors
|
||||
|
||||
In `label_printer_gui.py`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Change print button color
|
||||
Button(
|
||||
...
|
||||
background_color=(R, G, B, A), # RGBA: 0.0-1.0
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add New Input Fields
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In create_input_column():
|
||||
new_label = Label(text='New Field:', size_hint_y=None, height=40)
|
||||
form_layout.add_widget(new_label)
|
||||
|
||||
self.new_input = TextInput(...)
|
||||
self.new_input.bind(text=self.on_input_change)
|
||||
form_layout.add_widget(self.new_input)
|
||||
|
||||
# In on_input_change():
|
||||
new_field = self.new_input.text
|
||||
```
