Custom page size

Hm, do you think that this is a good idea? Is there a reason that you cannot use POS printers language to print the receipt?

greetings,
Ulrich

I work with Ithaca, Epson, Star and Citizen receipt printers, and wouldn't even think of using PDF with them.

I developed a custom print engine in Java and a markup language which can interface generically with all of them, but there are a couple of standards (OPOS, JavaPOS) that can also be used.

Should have qualified a bit - I'm still working with a number of impact and inkjet POS printers, which would be agonizingly slow printing PDF through a printer driver, since everything would have to be printed as an image. They are more than adequately fast in their native language, however.

If you're using one of the high-end thermal recepit printers specifically meant for page printing, like the Star TSP-700, PDF will print just fine.
