with ThermalPrinter(port='/dev/ttyAMA0') as printer:
# Picture
printer.image(Image.open('gnu.png'))
# Bar codes
printer.barcode_height(80)
printer.barcode_position(BarCodePosition.BELOW)
printer.barcode_width(3)
printer.barcode('012345678901', BarCode.EAN13)

printer.out('Bold', bold=True)
printer.out('Double height', double_height=True)
printer.out('Double width', double_width=True)

printer.out('Rotate 90°', rotate=True, codepage=CodePage.ISO_8859_1)
printer.out('Strike', strike=True)
printer.out('Underline', underline=1)
printer.out('Upside down', upside_down=True)
# Chinese (almost all alphabets exist)
printer.out('现代汉语通用字表', chinese=True,
