  model      : int,       // see "cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.QRCodeModel"
};
cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.printQRCode(data, successCallback, errorCallback, printStatus Boolean);

Connection Listener

// Start connection listener
cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.startConnectionListener(connectionCallback, errorCallback);

// Stop connection listener
cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.stopConnectionListener(successCallback, errorCallback);

cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.reconnect(successCallback, errorCallback);

cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.disconnect(successCallback, errorCallback);

MSR Reader Listener

// Start MSR Reader listener
cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.startMsrReaderListener(connectionCallback, errorCallback);

// Stop MSR Reader listener
cordova.plugins.bixolonPrint.stopMsrReaderListener(successCallback, errorCallback);

Examples
