Title: How to print color on Dot matrix Printer
Post by: ttduc on January 19, 2013, 01:25:20 am

Hi everybody,

I'm using dot matrix CITIZEN iDP 3551 printers. It has 2 colors RED and BLACK.

But I don't know how to set color for the ticket.

Does any body know how to setup color on Ticket template?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

SambaPOS is wonderful ! I love it so much. Thank you for your all hard working !

Hello;

I don't know if it will work or not because I didn't tried it before but I've googled for printer codes and found something to try.

To enable red color use:
<XCT 27,114,1>
To enable black color use:
<XCT 27,114,0>

Add this code to the header of the ticket on a single line to see if it works or not. You can try different numbers instead of 1 or 0 if it does not work. I hope it helps.

Hi Emre,

I have done the test today. Although I tried different kind of code, it still printed in black.

Do you have a different code for me to try ?

Thank you
