Troubleshooting

80 mm receipts don't fit the paper

Published Last updated Written and reviewed by the Resale Intelligence team

On this page
  1. It still prints at A4
  2. The text is tiny or the margins are wide
  3. Text on the right is cut off
  4. A long blank strip prints after the receipt
  5. Printing from a phone doesn't work

Choose 80 mm on the document page before printing, then pick the receipt printer, 80 mm paper, no margins and actual size in the print dialog.

Who can do this:
Owner, Store Admin, Manager, Supervisor-Approver, Cashier, Appraiser, Accountant, Auditor, Viewer (role defaults; the owner can change them)

Receipts, purchase vouchers and other documents print from the document page in two sizes, A4 and 80 mm. Printing goes through the browser's print dialog; there is no separate print program, so the settings in that dialog matter most. For normal printing steps see Print an A4 or 80 mm receipt, and reprint.

It still prints at A4

  • Right after you save, the Print 80 mm receipt button opens the 80 mm size straight away

  • When you open an older document with Print document, it starts at A4; tap 80 mm in the paper-size switch at the top first

  • The preview narrows to a receipt layout; then tap Print

The text is tiny or the margins are wide

The print dialog often shrinks the page to fit A4. Use these settings; the names vary by browser and printer.

  • Printer: choose the receipt printer, not the document printer

  • Paper size: 80 mm, or 80 mm roll paper

  • Margins: none

  • Scale: actual size or default, not "fit to page"

  • Turn off headers and footers so the date and web address are not printed

Text on the right is cut off

  • Check in the printer driver that the paper width is set to 80 mm

  • 58 mm printers are narrower than the system's receipt layout. The system offers A4 and 80 mm only; if you must use one, try "fit to page" in the print dialog

A long blank strip prints after the receipt

Some receipt printers feed paper for a full page length. In the printer driver, set the paper to be cut at the end of the content; the menu name differs by printer brand.

Printing from a phone doesn't work

Printing from a phone depends on whether the printer supports mobile printing. If it doesn't, open the same document on a computer connected to the printer; find documents under Transactions.

Frequently asked questions

Can receipts always open at 80 mm?

Right after saving, the 80 mm receipt button opens that size straight away. Older documents open at A4, and there is no store setting for a default size yet.

Can I use a 58 mm receipt printer?

The system has A4 and 80 mm layouts only. A 58 mm printer may work if you choose fit to page in the print dialog, but the text gets smaller.
