What to do if the receipts are cutting extra space is there..?

Modified on Wed, 11 Jun at 11:38 AM

If your receipts are printing with unnecessary blank space, please check the following two main areas to resolve the issue:


✅ 1. Printer Side Checks (Hardware & Driver Settings)

Make sure the printer is set up correctly:

Printer Driver:

  • Ensure the official driver (e.g., Epson, TSP) is installed.

  • Avoid using a generic driver, as it will cause format issues.

Paper Size & Resolution:

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers

  • Right-click your receipt printer → Printing Preferences

  • Confirm the paper size is set to 80mm x 297 or 72mm x 297.

Auto-cut or Page End Settings:

  • Disable any setting like “Cut at end of page” which might add extra space.


✅ 2. Software Side Checks (Template Padding Settings)

Inside your POS system, follow these steps to check and fix the template layout:

  • If the template contains extra line breaks or padding, it may cause space issues

  • Navigate to Settings > Printing Template in your POS

  • Click the edit icon next to the active receipt template

  • Check the following:

    Padding Settings:

    • Padding helps shift the receipt layout to the left or right

    • Example: If you enter values like 1, 2, or 3 on the Right, the receipt will shift towards the right

    • Similarly, entering values on the Left shifts the receipt towards the left

    • To avoid misalignment, set both Left and Right padding to 0

  • Optionally, enable Condensed Printing to reduce line spacing and save paper.
