How to fix a receipt that prints the wrong size or garbled

Android Sunmi Updated Aug 2026

If a receipt prints too wide, too narrow, or as random symbols, it’s a paper-width or printer-compatibility setting — not a fault with the sale. Match the width to your roll and confirm the printer type.

Step by step

  1. Set the paper widthIn RushFlow → Settings → Printing, set the paper width to match your roll (commonly 58mm or 80mm). The wrong width makes text run off or leave big margins.
  2. Confirm the printer typeGarbled/symbol output usually means the printer expects a different command style. Confirm you’ve selected the right printer/connection.
  3. Print a testUse “Print test” and adjust until the alignment is right.
