  discoverPrinters,
  registerBrotherListener,
} from "@ivanstoilov/react-native-brother-printers";

  V6: true,
});

registerBrotherListener("onDiscoverPrinters", (printers) => {
  // Store these printers somewhere
});

Printing an image

To print an image, using the printImage function, with the first parameter being the printer found during discover, the second being the uri of the image you want to print, and the third being an objective that contains the label size.

You can find a list of LabelSize and LabelNames inside the package as well.

import {printImage, LabelSize} from "@ivanstoilov/react-native-brother-printers";

await printImage(printer, uri, {labelSize: LabelSize.LabelSizeRollW62RB});
