The Epson TM U220 is an impact printer isn’t it? It’s never going to be as crisp as a thermal model due to the printing methid used. It’s like comparing an inkjet to a typeriter.

I believe it is. It has that black and red ribbon cartridge inside of it.

My goal is to make it look like this. This is how restaurant pro express (blasphemy) prints kitchen.

I need to do this with SambaPOS

That is ugly and confusing imo. But hey it may not be ugly and confusing to someone else. You need to use ESC/POS mode and use the codes for red ink for modifiers. You can try <J11> to increase font size or <J22> those numbers represent height and width of font. Default is <J00>

47

I will try that in a bit.
Yes I would like it to look better, but hey with its just an electronic typewriter and has its limits I suppose. :slight_smile:

48

It’s a bit odd that the main dish name is the smallest part and modifiers are massive lol
Red I would have thought you would typically use for IMPORTANT modifications rather than standard choices like sides

49

Well Samba is already a huge improvement over what they are using.

I’m very open to making the kitchen printer tickets look amazing.

Thanks for all the tips so far and for the tips and recommendations to come.

I’m not done yet.
