Thermal Invoice Printing
Thermal / Normal Printing
Print compact customer bills from myBillBook using supported 2-inch and 3-inch thermal formats, with themes, fields, logo and copy settings.
Thermal Printing in myBillBook
The thermal printing feature in myBillBook lets you print compact customer bills directly from the invoice workflow using supported thermal formats. You can preview the invoice, choose the thermal print option and use available settings for receipt layout, visible fields and copies.
Thermal printing is built into the same GST billing software for businesses you use to create invoices, the printed receipt stays connected with the original transaction instead of requiring a separate billing workflow.

Choose the Thermal Print Format That Fits Your Counter

Use supported 2-inch thermal formats when you need a narrow, compact receipt for fast counter billing.
3-Inch Thermal Printing
Use supported 3-inch thermal formats when you need more space for item, pricing and tax details while keeping the bill compact.
Match the Receipt to Your Billing Style
Choose the thermal format and theme based on how much information you want customers to see on the printed receipt.
Print Extra Copies When Required
Use duplicate or triplicate print options when your business needs more than one physical copy of the same invoice.
Choose a Thermal Print Theme on Web
Compact
Use Compact when you want a shorter receipt with fewer columns and less printed information.
Advanced
Use Advanced when you need more detailed item information, additional columns or longer item names.
Simple

Changing the thermal print layout affects how the receipt is printed, not the underlying saved invoice or transaction values.
