It's similar to console / text mode output.

You have to manually adjust space.
Please take note if you have quantity 10++ you may have alignment issue.

use "^" to indicate space :



There is another display style :

Hi there, I see you are doing ESC/P printing.

Basically @flashang is correct.

I did the same thing 2 years ago, using C# for Windows, for splitting long lines to multiple lines, and multiple columns.

Thanks!


if combine with chinese character, this method not working.

Are you using my code? Do you mean the line splitting not working properly?

The logic behind my code is to treat each CJK char as two Roman alphabets (e.g. 'ABC'), it is far from perfect.

I think with use of space padding, you have already solved your problem.

When printing chi and eng together, the text counting is not accurate due to the font printing via POS printer for eng and chi are different, although same font size.

Below is my version in c#, I'm using a rectangle to wrap the text, so text will auto goes to next line.
