QRCODE Impressoras Epson Compativel ESC/POS

[keytek 0]

Boa noite,

estou a usar o seguinte código para converter uma imagem para formato raster e posteriormente enviar para a impressora por motivos de compatibilidade e requisitos dos QRCode, mas está a acontecer o que aparece na imagem, alguém já passou pelo mesmo?

já testei em vários modelos acontece o mesmo.

    Public Shared Function ConvertImagetoBytes(BM As Bitmap) As Byte()
        Dim Data As BitMapData = GetBitmapData(BM)
        Dim Op As New MemoryStream
        Dim bw As New BinaryWriter(Op)

        bw.Write(Chr(Keys.Escape))
        bw.Write("@"c)
        bw.Write(Chr(Keys.Escape))
        bw.Write("3"c)
        bw.Write(CByte(24))

        Dim offset As Integer = 0
        Dim width As Byte()

        While offset < Data.Height
            bw.Write(Chr(Keys.Escape))
            bw.Write("*"c)
            bw.Write(CByte(33))
            width = BitConverter.GetBytes(Data.Width)
            bw.Write(width(0))
            bw.Write(width(1))
            For x As Integer = 0 To Data.Width - 1
                For k As Integer = 0 To 2
                    Dim slice As Byte = 0
                    For b As Integer = 0 To 7
                        Dim y As Integer = (((offset \ 8) + k) * 8) + b
                        Dim i As Integer = (y * Data.Width) + x
                        Dim v As Boolean = False
                        If i < Data.Dots.Length Then
                            v = Data.Dots(i)
                        End If
                        slice = slice Or CByte((If(v, 1, 0)) << (7 - b))
                    Next
                    bw.Write(slice)
                Next
            Next
            offset = offset + 24
            bw.Write(vbLf.ToCharArray)
        End While

        bw.Write(Chr(Keys.Escape))
        bw.Write("2"c)
        bw.Write(CByte(30))

        bw.Flush()

        Return Op.ToArray
    End Function

    Private Shared Function GetBitmapData(BM As Bitmap) As BitMapData
        Dim threshold = 127
        Dim index As Integer = 0
        Dim dimensions As Integer = BM.Width * BM.Height
        Dim dots As BitArray = New BitArray(dimensions)
        Dim res As New BitMapData
        Dim a As Integer

        For y = 0 To BM.Height - 1
            For x = 0 To BM.Width - 1
                Dim col As Color = BM.GetPixel(x, y)
                Dim luminance = CInt(col.R * 0.3 + col.G * 0.59 + col.B * 0.11)
                If (luminance < threshold) = True Then
                    a = 1
                End If
                dots(index) = (luminance < threshold)
                index = index + 1
            Next
        Next
        res.Dots = dots : res.Height = BM.Height : res.Width = BM.Width
        Return res
    End Function
    Private Class BitMapData
        Public Dots As BitArray
        Public Height As Int16
        Public Width As Int16
    End Class
