I think there is a way to do it, there are a few additional fields on order tags you can populate with the Chinese text and then access via printer tags. I’m not at my computer just now, possibly someone who might have used can elaborate? But also if you search forum for using order tags with different language you might be able to find a way, or just look at the template help on the printer template and experiment.
Definitely if it were product names only, you can do it using custom product tags then use {ITEM TAG:Chinese Name} on kitchen printer template.
A note for any other people in the future browsing this. ^^^ is absolutely correct, star printers need to have ESC/POS routing turned on in their settings.
However, if you turn this on, you wont be able to use HTML and other languages or formatting e.g. changing fonts. (I find it quite difficult to read the standard esc/pos J10 font on a busy night)
However, if you turn it off, you CAN use HTML, make nice receipts…however no ESC/POS commands will work, such as opening the cash drawer.
Unlike other models e.g EPSON, you cannot make 2 printers in samba (one as HTML, one as ESC/POS) to print html then kick the cash drawer via esc/pos.
EDIT: Also wanted to add, for some reason all star printers I have encountered are never centered on the receipts…always a blank space on the left margin. Even when printing the diagnostics page this is the case.
I’ll take a stab in the dark and guess you need to change your template tag for order price to {TOTAL AMOUNT} from {TOTAL PRICE} - total price is qty X order price before tags set to be included.
If the tag is set to price included in order price the tag shows no value as price is included in the order price.
If you want the price to be on the tag itself untick that option on the tag settings.
If you want to include in order price and not show 0.00 put square brackets arround the {ORDER TAG PRICE} like this [{ORDER TAG PRICE}], square brackets hides blank/0 values.
