Epson TM-T88IV and 2 colors
« on: February 15, 2013, 08:38:25 am »
Hi,

I have a Epson TM-T88IV receipt printer and I would like to set it up in such a way that it prints certain lines (like extra options for pizza's) iin red. How do I do this?

I never owned 2 color thermal printer but from what I read online.
1. You have to have 2 color thermal paper which is expensive.
2. You can use XCT command to set ESC code for your printer to print in red ie <XCT 28,112,1,0> this is for printing logo.

Yes that is one detail I overlooked. The paper which was in the packaging is regular thermal paper, when I saw the prices I immediately abandoned the idea. The parts of the ticket which were supposed to be printed red are now printed in bold which has the same effect.
