 * This example shows Arabic image-based output on the EPOS TEP 220m.
 *
 * Because escpos-php is not yet able to render Arabic correctly
 * on thermal line printers, small images are generated and sent
 * instead. This is a bit slower, and only limited formatting
 * is currently available in this mode.
 * 
 * Requirements are:
 *  - imagick extension (For the ImagePrintBuffer, which does not
 *      support gd at the time of writing)
 *  - Ar-PHP library, available from sourceforge, for the first
 *      part of this example. Drop it in the folder listed below:

 * First, convert the text into LTR byte order with joined letters,

 * 
 * The Ar-PHP library uses the default internal encoding, and can print
 * a lot of errors depending on the input, so be prepared to debug
 * the next four lines.
 * 
 * Note that this output shows that numerals are converted to placeholder
 * characters, indicating that western numerals (123) have to be used instead.
