At a glance
- The pages use 3 mm side margins: 52 mm content width on the 58 mm file and 74 mm on the 80 mm file.
- A printer’s usable width can be smaller than its paper roll. Check it before choosing print scale.
- These are fixed PDF samples. Physical printing and device compatibility have not been verified.

What to fill in
| Field | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Paper width | Match the PDF page width to the roll, then check the printer’s smaller printable area. | 58 mm or 80 mm |
| Item wrapping | Keep a long item on its own readable lines. | Whole-grain sandwich with extra filling |
| Print scale | Start at actual size for inspection. If the content exceeds the device’s printable area, adjust the driver or scaling and check a test print. | Check paper size, printable width and clipping |
| Output | The download is a fixed PDF, not a direct printer command. | No Bluetooth or ESC/POS connection |
Paper width is not printable width
The two PDFs are measured narrow pages with 3 mm margins on each side. A printer may reserve more space: Epson’s TM-T20III guide lists 72 mm of standard printable width on 80 mm paper. The 74 mm content area in this page’s 80 mm sample therefore needs a driver or scaling check on that model; roll width alone does not prove a fit.
Test one page before using a roll
- Open the PDF for the intended roll and select the matching paper size in your printer driver.
- Inspect it at 100% and compare the PDF content width with the printer’s stated printable width.
- If the edges would clip, adjust the driver settings or scale to the printable area, then check the smaller text and changed height.
- Print one test and inspect the long item, amounts and both edges before printing more.
Know the output boundary
These files provide a measured PDF. They do not connect to a Bluetooth/USB printer, emit ESC/POS commands or guarantee compatibility with every device. The generic receipt example does not include a complete GST-invoice field set.
Common questions
Will an 80 mm PDF fit every 80 mm printer?
No. Compare the content width with the device’s printable area and check a test print. Driver margins and scaling affect the result.
Can I edit the item values in the PDF?
No. The PDFs are fixed blank and worked samples with no form fields. They are not an interactive thermal receipt generator.
