HTML printing - Font and Size for different tags

Try to remove the text -align part

I have tried that but didnt work. :frowning:

I have decided to put the price at the top next to the english rather than the chinese, however still cant align even though ive used justify.

<span style="font-size:17px;font-family:MingLiu;text-align:justify">
<J00>{QUANTITY} {NAME}|£{TOTAL PRICE}
<EB>
<span style="font-size:25px;font-family:MingLiu;text-align:justify">
<L00>{ITEM TAG:tag1}
<DB>

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

<J> tag aligns price by using configured character count for printer. Like the part where Total and Cash amount listed you should use a proper font size to make it work.

I’ve spent a whole day, still cant figure it out. Emre, ive tried different fonts and doesnt make any difference, what font do you suggest? If the product doesnt go onto two lines it aligns perfectly.

whats teh difference between having “text-align:justify” and “<J00>”?

div’s justified alignment adds spaces between all words until both sides of line reaches to the printable area boundaries. This is not what you want as you want to add spaces only before price until it reaches to the end. <J> tag does it by adding spaces to the point you define by adding a pipe (|) char. However that only works for single line. So if you need that long product names you can use smaller font to prevent wrapping.

If you need long names, big fonts and proper alignment you’ll need V5’s table layout support. By using HTML Table tags you can format lines properly.

Thanks emre, So no way to do it on V4.

Do you have telephone support for V5 customers?

Telephone support is a nightmare. I would much rather get support here vs telephone. Can you imagine how telephone support would go…

Caller: I have an error it happens when I close ticket
TechGuy: Ok can you explain to me your rules and actions that are under Rule A
Caller: What do you mean I think I see A
TechGuy: Sigh ok what does A look like
Caller: A is round and has some hair
TechGuy: ok thats not it so explain B
Caller: Why do you keep asking me to explain this stuff
TechGuy: because I can not read your mind and know what you really mean by what you say.

Sorry just my experience that Telephone support rarely is useful. Support from this forum is very fast and we can provide screenshots, etc to understand issues faster.

I was thinking VNC into PC while on the phone like most POS companies offer these days. Yes I agree 100% phone support will not be very efficient in solving issues.

I don’t think Emre has plan for that. I think he try to create partnership with local distributor/support.

BTW @jamies are you be able to print html from another terminal. I am having problem printing html printer type to printer that connect to server from another terminal.

The thing even with local support is its very hard to know every aspect of samba and to offer on demand support for every posible issue would be very tricky.
Given the flexibility and number of ways to do everything etc
I would happily offer samba support as a partner but then if emre is to endorse someone local for support he would need to know they can cover all bases and even the leaders have their area of expertise.
Does that make sense?

LoL would you really prefer to discuss it with a support personnel instead of talking with pro’s here?

What all printers does at the end is the same. So your terminal problem probably does not relates HTML printer.

@JTRTech The support we’ll offer outside forum will be limited to first time setup, basic configuration and some common issues. Of course partners can prepare their own advanced setups and support their customers locally but we’ll never support advanced xyz setup published on forum :smile:

We may request local support for what we offer by default setup but by discussing with partners we’ll improve default configuration.

But when I change from HTML to ESC/POS or Windows Printer, it prints right away. No log out no other setting change. It does this on all printers that is not local. I tried with TM-T88III (connect to another terminal, not server), same thing.

  1. Can you send printout from notepad for example?
  2. What it does when printer type is Windows Printer?

Windows Printer Works. Notepad works (hints Windows printer works)

Wait…suddenly working, just now. I tried last night every printer works except HTML.

EDIT: Ahh…The other terminal still not working. .

So ? is it working or not?

Last night, none working.
Tonight, works from my laptop but not other terminal. The other terminal still only work with ESC/POS and Windows Printer.

I will try reboot every machines tonight to see if it helps. Since it working from one machine, now I think it is network/permission issue thing. but again, why only HTML :frowning:
