Has the application become paid?

NO!

Since version 4.3.0 of the application, the premium method is used as an image processing method. Premium features add a notification line to the printout that a free version is being used. All free features in the app are saved. Enter the settings and change as shown in the video. In 2019, the list of free features was supplemented with the following features:

  • Specifying a command for the printer cutter;
  • Automatic printing of date and time;
  • Image orientation selection;
  • Invert colors to print drawings (white changes to black).

General

Can you increase the size of the letters on the printout?

There are two types of printing implementation for Android applications.

  • In the first case, you prepare the document and pre-select the size of the paper on which you want to print. The application accesses its server and receives from it an PDF file that will be sent to the printer. Increase the letters in the finished document can not be.
    Recommendation: Choose the smallest available paper size in the application and / or increase the letter size.

  • The second method is implemented by browsers. They are guided by the paper size chosen in the driver and create a PDF for a specific choice.
    My application in any case prints the page as a picture with the width specified in the settings.
    For greater sharpness, the default paper size corresponds to a width that is equal to the number of dots at 72dpi.
    But there are three paper sizes with a fixed width (2,3.4 inches).
    The largest letters are obtained when choosing the width of 58mm. Smallest for paper sizes without millimeters in title.
    Recommendation: Try a 58mm paper size.

The application does not have its own license verification server. It uses the standard in-app purchase mechanism provided by Google. Purchases are synced by Google itself between your devices. Since I didn't do my own verification implementation, it turned out that the license works on all your devices.

If you paid from your phone and your card was already linked, the license is activated in 7 minutes. Google sends an email with the purchase code . the code is usually GPA-xxxxx-xxx-xxx If you received such an email, the app should have seen the payment by now.

Go to the Menu - License

If everything is fine, then it should be written premium version and up to what time

If you paid from a computer or on another phone, the information can be synchronized by Google with a delay of 3 hours to a day. I can't get involved in this. For information, I contact the service provided by the Play Market app for other apps on my phone.

If you have multiple Google Play accounts on your phone, make sure that the app is installed on behalf of the same account that the purchase was made from. I recommend making a purchase when the phone is connected to wifi and it is desirable to be on a charge, after making a payment in the near future, stay in the zone of confident Internet reception. Unfortunately, for every 100 purchases, there is at least one delay in receiving information about the fact of successful payment.

Here are some tips that can help you avoid waiting 3-25 hours:

Method one

1) Restart your phone
2) Check that the Internet is working. Go to any site in the browser
3) Launch the Play Market app and wait 1-2 minutes for it to sync purchases with Google's servers
4) Launch RawBT. Go to License. Click " Check license status"

Method two

1) Remove The RawBt
2) Restart your phone
3) Install the app again

One of the reasons for the problem with licenses is too aggressive policy of phone manufacturers to save battery power . A third-party app for me, Play Market, may miss an instant notification for some reason, and background data syncing with Internet access is limited to save battery power

I paid for the license, but it still displays on the printout ** Personal use only **

  • 1.In the main menu, select "License".
  • 2. On the license tab, click "..." in the upper-right corner.

Why are there no purchase options on the License page?

  • 1. For you country not allowed purhases.

  • 3. No internet. Unable to get the cost of licenses.

What do if you ATM has been decline ?

There are no alternative ways to purchase a license.

Violation of this item may be the reason for the removal of the application. You can of course give examples of applications that do not follow this rule. But I am inclined to believe that this is simply not a refinement of the moderators, and not permission to do so.
