"Ticket Printer " problem, I choose HTML printing okey, no problem, But I want using “Ticket Printer” Help me please.

[Zox]

I tested your setting and no “B” in my print.
Try lower your “Line character count” in Printer setting to 36

[yonghichngom]

I try again but always “B”, Kitchen Invoice, Report invoice… all them contains B, Can you check again, please.

I saw this happen before when I was testing a different model printer. I don’t know the exact reason for it, but it does have something to do with if you are trying to print too many characters on one line. I can see from your image that right now you have the line character count setting wrong (the === is cut over 2 lines). If you update that, then it should make the “B” go away. I am guessing from your printer name that you have a 58mm printer, but 42 characters is more typical of a 80mm printer. Reduce it and after some trial and error you should get it working

On the printer setting page, update the Line Character Count:

Also a couple things I noticed about your printer template that might help you format it better:

1. Any lines with the same character (like ===) you can just do with the formatting tag <F>=. Then you also don’t need to worry about the number of characters to use to make a full line as it’s automatic.
2. You appear to be using the large font on your printer but I can’t see you specifying it anywhere on your template. Possibly it is a default on the printer? You should specify the character size on each line to have more predictable results, like <L00> to have left aligned, normal size, <C10> to have centre aligned, double height characters, etc. You can read full details of all the formatting tags available here:

Printer Template Formatting Tags

##General <T> (Title) : When used it will format line as a title. <F> (Fill) : For example <F>- creates a line with - chars or <F>= creates a line with = chars. <EB> (Enable Bold) Prints everything Bold until <DB> command. <DB> (Disable Bold) Ends <EB> command <Jxy> (Justified) Justifies a line from pipe char. <J00>Total:|0.00 separates line from pipe (|) char. It aligns Total: part left and 0.00 part right. When used on a ESC/POS compatible ticket printer numeric parts sets font size. Fi…

can you show me your printer template again, but with the tags.
example : “< B00 >” blablabla

Whats the brand and model of your printer?
Is this the first time you use this printer in SambaPOS?
Is there any printer software tools included in your printer driver CD?
Have you try change your Printer type to ESC/POS emulated Printer instead Ticket Printer ?

[yonghichngom]

1. I’m using Model Tawa prp 085 mini

2. Yes, First time

3. No, Just only Drivers POS-58

4. Sorry, I just have only model Tawa PRP 085 MINI

Here

I’ve been searching internet for that printer and the problem, but all of the web in vietnamese language. i don’t understand.
Perhaps other people have experience with the problem can give you solution.

Can i suggest for you.
If you just bought the printer from local shop, ask them if it can be trade in with other brand? Use a good quality printer for your business. I use Epson ( TM- T82 ), it fast, reliable and come with many software tools.
