#### Capacitor

    $ npm install thermal-printer-cordova-plugin
    $ npx cap sync

Don't forget to add BLUETOOTH and INTERNET (for TCP) permissions and for USB printers the `android.hardware.usb.host` feature to the `AndroidManifest.xml`.

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
