Hi,

I changed reciept font to arial. After changing its values are not printing as per settings in  reciept designer. Error-reciept.png

Values push next values according to its size. 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

    I found solution. you cannot design POS Reciept in Dynamics AX with Arial font because its type is "Propotional" which means that all character will not occupy same space and for reciept so you have to use "Monospaced" font in which every character has fixed width.

    If you want to design reciept with arial font you have to download custom "Monospaced Arial font" and use in reciept.

    or you can also  design your custom reciept on server side in POS printer.cs.

    Within the parameters element of both the printer and line display profile each peripheral has a character set number, this character set number should be set to 850 for both the line display and the printer. (this is mainly to do with symbols e.g for currency).

    The printDoc_PrintPage() method hard-codes to 7-point Courier New:

                    Font tempFont = new Font("Courier New", 7, FontStyle.Regular);
                    SolidBrush tempBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
                    System.Drawing.PointF tempPoint = new System.Drawing.PointF(0, 0);

    Simply changing this font (it’s in five places) will spread your text across the page.  So use a fixed-width font or your receipts won’t line up properly.  You can experiment with the values of the offsets for placing the text (coordinate variables x and y).

    A feature of the Form Layout designer is to change the number of columns in any of the three sections.  Right-click on a blank area and select “Number of columns” from the pop-up menu.  Change the value to change the width of your paper.  Trial and error to match up font size and paper width, may give you some options.

    I did changes in printing dll but no luck. Actually changing font to arial messed up all design. position of text are not rendering as per reciept designer. position of following text depends upon length of previous text. no matter how space you provide in designer nothing works. even i redesign print line in code and provide static positions for text but issue remain still.

    Oh ok, then you can try to change this in the dll what is printing the reciept. There is a dll for each process in POS.

    I remember there is a print dll, create the visual studio projects and that way you can modify the properties in the txt printed.

    Sorry I though was a SSRS report.

    Thank you very much for reply. decreasing font size doesn't work. I don't think windows printer support any other font type rather then new courier. what do you think?

    You can decrease the font size as well.
