How to make my receipt on POS printer align
0
object TicketItem have 3 properties:
string Quantity
string Name
string Price
I need to have format like this on 70mm space on paper like below.
----------------------------------
1 x Coca Cola 0,25 4,00
2 x Fantasime 11,00
3 x Some long string item 222,99
name into wrap item
----------------------------------
foreach (var item in ticket.ticketItems)
{
itemString = FormatLineItem((item.quantity.Length == 1 ? item.quantity + " " : item.quantity), item.name, item.price);
e.Graphics.DrawString(itemString, printFont, Brushes.Black, x, y);
y += lineOffset;
e.Graphics.DrawString(Environment.NewLine, printFont, Brushes.Black, x, y);
y += lineOffset;
}
public string FormatLineItem(string quantity, string name, string amount)
{
return string.Format("{0}x {1,-10} | {2,5}", quantity, name, amount);
}
My results isn't like in EXAMPLE top please someone solution.

if you are using GDI+ for printing, it could work when you set a fixed-width (non-proportional) font on the device. Otherwise, you have to draw multiple stretches of text with different alignment settings.

If you don't use a fixed-pitch font then you need two DrawString() calls, the second one using a different x argument. Do keep in mind that POS printers always like raw output that bypasses the printer driver, you get the fixed-pitch font that's built in the printer as a side-benefit.

Add yourself a length checking function?
public string FormatLineItem(int quantity, string name, string amount)
{
return string.Format("{0} x {1}{2}",
EnsureLength(quantity,2,true),
EnsureLength(name,23,true),
EnsureLength(amount,7,false));
}
private string EnsureLength(string input, int requiredLength, bool padRight)
{
if (input.Length > requiredLength) return input.Substring(0, requiredLength);
if (input.Length == requiredLength) return input;
if (padRight)
{
return input.PadRight(requiredLength);
}
else
{
return input.PadLeft(requiredLength);
}
}
My debug trace below... Are you not using a fixed width font? You'd need to check for very long things to make the extra line still...
"1 x Coca Cola 0,25 4,00"
"2 x Fantasime 11,00"
"3 x Some long string item 222,99"

Put in a check function Need2ndLine(name) that checks the length, if it says you need a 2nd line, then do another formatted line of output to print the 2nd half of the info.

your code includes an attempt at graphical text output, and one at string alignment for fixed-width raster output. which one is needed?

Nov 13 '18 at 11:34
if you are using GDI+ for printing, it could work when you set a fixed-width (non-proportional) font on the device. Otherwise, you have to draw multiple stretches of text with different alignment settings.
– dlatikay
Nov 13 '18 at 11:35
If you don't use a fixed-pitch font then you need two DrawString() calls, the second one using a different x argument. Do keep in mind that POS printers always like raw output that bypasses the printer driver, you get the fixed-pitch font that's built in the printer as a side-benefit.
