Thermal Printer Billing Software for 58 mm and 80 mm Receipts
Most counters print on a thermal roll, and a receipt that wraps badly or cuts off the GST line makes the shop look careless. TripleBill is thermal printer billing software with receipts laid out separately for 58 mm and 80 mm rolls, printed automatically after each sale, with your GSTIN, the tax split and a UPI QR for the amount.

Pick the printer once
In print settings you choose what sits at the counter: a thermal roll printer (58 mm or 80 mm) or a normal printer on A4 or A5. The counter receipt is then laid out for that paper — tighter type and spacing on 58 mm, more room per line on 80 mm. Invoices you raise from Sales still print on A4 or A5 with your logo.
Turn on auto-print and the receipt prints the moment a POS sale is saved. Choose how many copies, and on the Windows app name the exact printer so nothing asks which one to use.
- 58 mm and 80 mm receipt layouts
- Or A4 / A5 on a normal printer
- Auto-print after every POS sale
- Copies per bill
What prints on the receipt

- Taxable value and GST split: CGST + SGST or IGST
- Discounts and round-off
- Payment mode, including split cash + UPI
- A UPI QR for the amount (can be switched off)
- Restaurant bills: order type, table or token, waiter and covers
Printing on each device
| Device | How it prints |
|---|---|
| Windows app | Straight to the named printer, no dialog — receipts and KOTs |
| Web app in a browser | Through the browser print dialog; set the paper size once and it remembers |
| Android app | Through the Android print dialog to printers that have an Android print service, or share as PDF |
A worked example: one bill on 58 mm
A chemist uses a 58 mm printer. A customer buys a cough syrup at ₹118 and a pack of bandages at ₹45. The cashier scans both, takes ₹163 by UPI and presses Pay. The slip prints at once: two item lines that fit the narrow roll, the taxable value and the CGST and SGST amounts, "UPI ₹163" and a thank-you line. If the customer had paid ₹100 in cash and the rest by UPI, both modes would print.
Switch the same shop to 80 mm and the same slip prints with more room per line. When a business customer wants a full GST tax invoice with HSN codes and their GSTIN, raise it from Sales and print it on A4 or share the PDF.
Sample figures.
Restaurant KOTs on thermal printers
In restaurant mode, KOTs print on 58 or 80 mm too — one ticket per kitchen station. On the Windows app each station can have its own printer, so the bar ticket comes out at the bar and the kitchen ticket in the kitchen, with no dialog in between.
58 mm or 80 mm: which to buy
A 58 mm printer is small, cheap to run and fine for short bills — a tea stall, a chemist, a vegetable counter. An 80 mm printer gives more room per line, which helps when bills are long, item names are long, or the receipt carries IMEIs, batches or a restaurant table and waiter. If you print KOTs, 80 mm is easier for the kitchen to read from a distance.
Whatever you choose, install it in Windows or Android first so it appears as a printer, then pick the matching width in TripleBill. You can change the width later without changing anything else.
- 58 mm for short counter bills
- 80 mm for long bills, IMEIs, batches and KOTs
- Install the printer first, then pick the width
What it does not do (yet)
- Direct Bluetooth printing from the Android app without a print service — it uses the Android print dialog
- Opening a cash drawer from the printer
- Silent printing from the web app — browsers always show the print dialog
How to set up a thermal printer for billing in TripleBill

Switch on auto-print after POS sales and set the number of copies; on the Windows app pick the printer by name.

Test with a sale
Bill one item on the POS and check the slip: GSTIN, tax split, UPI QR and footer should all fit the roll.
Frequently asked questions
Which thermal printers work?
Any 58 mm or 80 mm printer that Windows or Android can print to with its driver or print service. TripleBill lays out the receipt for the paper width you choose.
Can I print without the print dialog popping up?
Yes, on the Windows app: receipts and KOTs go straight to the printer you name. Browsers always show their dialog.
Can the receipt show a UPI QR?
Yes. The QR carries the bill amount and your UPI ID, so the customer scans and pays the exact figure. You can switch it off in print settings.
Can I print an A4 invoice and a thermal receipt from the same shop?
Yes. Counter sales print on the receipt printer; invoices from Sales print on A4 or A5 with your logo, and any bill can be shared as a PDF.
Does it print in Kannada or Hindi?
Item names print as you typed them, in whatever script the printer and its font support.
Which plan has thermal printing?
Counter billing and receipt printing are on the Starter plan (₹299/month, ₹2,999/year or ₹6,999 for 3 years) and Pro, along with barcode billing and labels. Every new business gets a 7-day free trial with everything unlocked.
