I'm printing an HTML receipt via javascript:window.print()
Printing it to an Inkjet Printer makes everything all good. However on DOT-MATRIX Printer, Epson LX-300+II everything is different. It doesn't fit right, the texts are not aligned. I tried saving it to PDF and printing the PDF from Adobe Reader, the orientation seemed to be all good.
I already set the page size and tried resizing the fonts, but still I can't print it correctly. The Receipt's size, by the way, is 8.5 x 5.5in.
I tried formulating the CSS, but failed to get the correct result. This is the CSS:
@media print {
html, body {
width: 8.5in;
height: 5.5in;
display: block;
font-family: "Calibri";
font-size: auto;
}
@page
{
size: 5.5in 8.5in;
}
}
Also whenever I tried adding @page { size: 8.5in 5.5in.; size: Portrait; }
the printed paper is on landscape.
How can I set things right?
EDIT: I tried
@page {
size: 5.5in 8.5in;
}
but it's printing the page on Landscape...
Solved the Problem!
In my Printer(LX-300-II), I defined a Paper Size which width is 8.5in and 5.5in in height. There is also a change in CSS Code:
@media print {
html, body {
display: block;
font-family: "Calibri";
margin: 0;
}
@page {
size: 21.59cm 13.97cm;
}
.logo {
width: 30%;
}
}
Since I have images in my Receipt, I made some width adjustments to fit it just right.
I hope this can help those people who is encountering this same problem.
