What is the Font for receipt usually used ?
Hi,
I am really confuse right now.
I am making an application for retail shop (POS), I am using an EPSON printer TM-U220. It's a dot matrix printer.
These days, I collected some receipt from other store as samples.
I count the columns, most of them have 40 columns.
I've tried every font that my computer has with font size 9 and 10, but none of them can reach 40 columns.
And some of the words of the fonts that I tried with font size 9 become hard to read.
Is it because my printer only has 9 pins ?
Some of the receipts that I collected, have a really thin but long words, I wonder how they do that ??
example :
See : http://www.sunshinesupport.com/Image...pt_example.jpg
"TOTAL" and "BALANCE DUE" words, have a thin but long words.
But with that thin but long words, it still can reach until 40 columns.
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.

The lines with Total and Balance Due are in condensed print. The whole thing is in a fixed font, so the number of characters is .easy to calculate - if you're printing 20 characters/inch, and the paper is 2.5" wide, you have plenty of room - 1/4" border on each side. (If you're trying to use a proportional font, it probably won't work.)
