I’ve had to change my templates to HTML due to my printer and also more flexibility on formatting
As you can see above the red line is html and it’s adding spaces after every line, after the words at the top, after each dashed line, after every order
The bit below the red line I haven’t converted yet and that’s how the above part did look (no additonal spaces) Before changing to html
Can anyone see why or how to fix this?
I’m uploading on my phone now so I’ll add the template in a sec when I login my laptop

That happened to me too.
So I use document printer instead.

@emre is this a possible bug with the html printer setting, ive read a few posts on here saying the same thing, that when using html it seems to have a double line spacing set
I’ve changed category too issue as ive not seen any solutions other than people using a different printer type instead, but we could do to get this issue resolved for receipt prints

Changed back to question as i figured out why the top part of my ticket template appears double spaced and its to do with the table format, specifically the <tr> tag that adds a row, which is why there is a row before and after. If i delete the tr tags the rows disappear and it is normal spaced, but my text then also disappears so im reading up on this
The orders however i cant see any reason why they double line space on the ticket, any ideas?

Somehow margin setting for tables not set. It will work fine on next update.

Brill Thanks emre, what about the double line spacing on the order as they aren’t in a table, just seems to default with a line space after each one, will that be fixed too??

Do you mean order line? They are in the table.

Oh yea, I’ll double check that, I only recently changed that but I’m pretty sure when not in a table they still double line
I’ll try and test that again tonight

@RickH you should use Document Printer instead, it gives much better results and more flexibility than HTML printer.

What format does it use? How do you change font, size etc ive never looked at document printer, assumed it was for like A4 invoices etc

That was just an example. Actually even ESC/POS printer can do A4 invoices if you wanted, paper size is irrelevant.

Here are new features that comes with 5.1.54 release.
###Displaying duration on table buttons
{ENTITY STATE MINUTES} tag implemented for displaying time passed on table buttons.
Here is a sample display format that used New Orders table state.
There is an example template there. It uses XAML format, if you understand HTML it should be straightforward.
Here are some examples of receipts I have done with it:

Didn’t realise HP made EPOS printers?

The additional spaces can be removed by setting up some functions and making some changes in the coding which you can simply copy from hp printer support
The additional spaces were due to a setting hard coded to samba, nothing we can do from our end, Emre has made the changes needed and I’ve verified it now works correctly in the latest update
