I’m generating a text file to be printed on matrix and thermal printers. The file is printed by DOS and would like to know how many columns these printers support.
In thermal would be necessary to print twice if the customer wants a copy of the file, already in matrix printer could be printed one next to the other to save paper (if the sheet was larger).
The number of columns can vary 40, 48 (if there is no font change). The best way to know is to print.

what the matrix and thermal difference?

Has other measurements outside the range 40 to 48 too, better specify better the type of application and printer, or make your application well tolerant.

@Rafaelacioly matricial is needle hitting the tape with ink. the thermal does not use ink, heats up reagent paper (more or less like fax paper). Matrix printing lasts for years and years, thermal gets cuter on time, but after a while everything disappears. It should be prohibited to use thermal for receipts, tickets, bank stuff etc. Technology against the people (I love thermal printer, but not for document).

matricial is those of printing nonfiscal notes right?
– RFL
@Rafaelacioly fiscal can also be. If you need 2 or 3 ways, you need to take note in the matrix, or you don’t take the carbon. Matrix and daisy are the technologies that "hit" the sheet physically. Nfe is already different, there is no physical note. What is printed is an auxiliary document only.

Stefanio, if it is coil printing, has coil with 2 ways or more too, need not be side by side..

Yes, but that will depend on the client’s equipment, and I remembered now also that there are models of continuous form sheets that are cut in half. I have to check the number of lines on these sheets too
