Hi,
I used [escpos](https://github.com/song940/node-escpos) for printing the value for that I am using this link https://www.npmjs.com/package/escpos and my code is for the printer is that
const escpos = require('escpos'); //for printing order on epson printer
escpos.Network = require('escpos-network');
const device = new escpos.Network(ipaddress, port);
var options = { encoding: "EUC-KR"};
const printer = new escpos.Printer(device, options);
I want to print the value the in English language but sometimes it shows gibberish and it's not happening in any particular case. gibberish printer randomly. Please check the screenshot also

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the printer output with the shown escpos.Network setup and Printer options using English text, then inspect how encoding and network printing are handled. Done means the cause of the intermittent gibberish is identified and English output prints reliably.
