You will need to adjust the font size and column size to fit in clearly and the paper size too can be set in the FrontReport object property while instanciation. All possible sizes are in the switch case statement in the constructor of the FrontReport class from Line 73 onwards in reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc.

I thought it was reporting/ #107 that had to be edited for the receipt?

Go to: Windows Start Menu > Control Panel > Devices and Printers. Click Preferences, set the Paper Size to 72 x Receipt and click OK to return to the printer properties window. Click Advanced > Printing Defaults, set the paper size to 72 x Receipt and click OK to return to the printer properties window.

Re: How i can fix the invoice shape to small size Thermal printer

Printing a receipt on therminal printer requires a small size receipt like A7, A8 or A6. As of FA.  We have A4 and Letter size. Which we are not giving other sizes by default.

But you  can update the size in pdf_reports.inc switch case.

And then create  a form file and place it inside  reporting/forms/headerA7.php and copy the doctext and header2.php code to there..

And you need to try something to make the receipt looks fit in respective size.

And also make some changes and change  SetHeader(HeaderA7)

With that your FA is ready to print receipts in other sizes. Its an example  like that you  can adapt or sizes and other reports.

We have done similar one like this for a friend.
