Micros 3700 format receipt trailer text options

I dont think there is an easy way of making the text bold.
You would probably have to get into sending commands to the printer using the chr() function.
Do you want some custom SIM scripts developed. Contact me via my website

Ive had a look through some of the programming guides for some of the common printers used with micros.
I dont see any that support Bold printing.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your time....
With the receipt being the last contact point of a transaction you would think that with such a robust system Micros would provide the tools to create a nice presentation.
I am playing around passing printer ESC sequences but am not going to invest much time with this approach. I will try the chr() approach as well, I forgot about that function.
I will keep you in mind if we need any SIM development.

Thanks folks!
Decided to go with the wide format.
If the trailer wasn't so long I would have created a bitmap with formatting but it took three bitmaps to complete the message which meant an 'eternity' to print.
Thanks again for the time spent helping me out. Just found this site.

Hey Charless777,
If you are printing on TM-88's try:
chr(27), chr(33), 1, "Your text here"
or even:
chr(27), chr(33), 8, "Your text here"
The first one is a bit value to select the Font B that printes support. The second one is the 'emphasize' bit value, though it comes out pretty damn large.
