How to Print a Image At full Paper size(80MM) in thermal printer(EPSON)

Question

I followed Epson SDK for android to thermal print receipts...

So instead of the text I am given some Image which contains entire image.. at the part of Logoimage(the store).. Which is like below

Here the Store is the Logoimage Insted of that I have given My Recipt(Image) So I am getting like above.. Its not printing full size...

this is my code

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener, ReceiveListener {

private Context mContext = null;
private EditText mEditTarget = null;
private Spinner mSpnSeries = null;
private Spinner mSpnLang = null;
private Printer  mPrinter = null;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mContext = this;

    int[] target = {
        R.id.btnDiscovery,
        R.id.btnSampleReceipt,
   };

    for (int i = 0; i < target.length; i++) {
        Button button = (Button)findViewById(target[i]);
        button.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    mSpnSeries = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spnModel);
    ArrayAdapter<SpnModelsItem> seriesAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<SpnModelsItem>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
    seriesAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    seriesAdapter.add(new SpnModelsItem(getString(R.string.printerseries_t20), Printer.TM_T20));
    mSpnSeries.setAdapter(seriesAdapter);
    mSpnSeries.setSelection(0);

    try {
        Log.setLogSettings(mContext, Log.PERIOD_TEMPORARY, Log.OUTPUT_STORAGE, null, 0, 1, Log.LOGLEVEL_LOW);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        ShowMsg.showException(e, "setLogSettings", mContext);
    }
    mEditTarget = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edtTarget);
}

    if (data != null && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

                }
            }).start();
        }
    });
}
}

can any one suggest me where do I adjust the size of the image so that I should print the page area instead of logo size...

this is Image content data for Image

String method = "";
Bitmap logoData = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.store);
//I have given this  Bitmap logoData = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.full);

and this is for image content..

   method = "addImage";
   mPrinter.addImage(logoData,0,0,logoData.getWidth(),logoData.getHeight(),Printer.COLOR_1,Printer.MODE_MONO,Printer.HALFTONE_DITHER,Printer.PARAM_DEFAULT,Printer.COMPRESS_AUTO);

Please suggest how to print the image content at full size... I am getting a side of page..

It should Print 80 mm of Size but its printing 40 mm can any one suggest me how to make it to full size or how to adjust the size of the Image to stretch it to max paper area...

Your question is a bit unclear.

I think your question is:

You are given the data for the image at some resolution as an Android BitMapFactory.
You want to print on some printer, with another DPI. The Android BitMapFactory for the image is already set.
You need to scale the BitMapFactory for your logo.

First, in your line of getting the logo data, you can try just exploring the option BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize to get about that right size. That would get you a better, but not perfect answer.

For perfect, you should scale the logo. You can use code here. See also the related questions here and here.
