How To Print Receipts to Zebra Thermal Printer

Receipts made using ExpressExpense can easily be printed using a thermal printer.  There are many brands of thermal printers out there: Zebra, Epson, Rollo,  Star, Dymo – to name a few.   The important factor is the printer must be able to print JPG or PDF images.

Zebra brand thermal printers support printing JPGs directly to their devices.  For the purpose of this article, we will use the Zebra iMZ320 – a beautifully designed mobile thermal printer that connects to iOS or Android via bluetooth.  You can also use any of the iMZ, QLN or ZQ Series printers from Zebra.

You’ll need the ExpressExpense app (available on iOS or Android) and the Zebra Utilities (iOS / Android)  app to get started.

First create your receipt using ExpressExpense and save the receipt.  On Android, save to your Downloads location – as this is where the Zebra app looks for images to print.  For iOS users, you need to copy the image to the Zebra Utilities app using iTunes.  Connect your iPhone, open iTunes and then locate

Next, open the Zebra Utilities app and connect to your Bluetooth printer.  Open the “Files” option from the Zebra app and find your receipt image in the “Images” folder.

If your receipt doesn’t match the image – change the printing setting from within the Zebra Utilities app.   Setting Page Options to “Custom” and then choosing Page Width = 3 and Page Height = 6 will usually yield a properly scaled quality receipt.

This thermal printer also does a great job and is very affordable ($60 – $65).

How to resize receipt images to suit your needs.

We get many inquiries from our users on how to resize their custom receipts after they have created them with our tool.  Our receipts are generated at high resolution and larger than actual size in order to allow you to print and scale accordingly.  Let’s look at two ways to resize these receipt images.

Scaling the Receipt using Microsoft Word (or Google Docs)

First, open a blank Word document.  Next click “Insert” and choose Photo and the “Picture from File.”  Then pick the receipt .JPG image  you received.

Next click the image of the receipt on screen and then grab one of the corners to scale the image accordingly.  Your custom receipt can be sized this way as large or as small as you would like.

Once you’ve resized the custom receipt, you are ready to print your receipt.  Here, we’ve scaled the image approximately 30% smaller than the original.

Scaling the Image using Printing Options

The 2nd option for scaling an image is to simply use the “Scale” feature within the printing dialog.  Printers and printer drivers vary – but most printers offer the ability to scale the image upon printing. In this case, we are printing the image from the “Image Viewer” or “Preview” application on your computer.

Simply select “Scale” from the print dialog window and adjust the size to adjust the size of the image on the page.

A few additional tips for making your receipt look good on paper:

  • It sometimes requires resizing and printing the image to determine if it is a good size for your receipt purposes.
  • Remember, a larger receipt is going to be easier to read if you need to scan or fax your receipt output for use in your expense report or tax reimbursement.
  • Many companies now are sending digital receipts to customers via email.  These receipts are meant to be larger because they are digital receipts that were not intended for printing.

Fix that Parking Receipt nightmare

Yep.  Just back from Chicago and left the parking ticket – which was also the receipt – in the rental car at the airport.  My Concur Solutions system is flashing the Receipt Required symbol and I’ve called the Parking Garage enough times to make the ringer…which I’m sure was disconnected long ago in the dusty, dim dungeon which charges $28 for 1.5hrs.

Thank goodness for ExpessExpense.  Replace that lost parking receipt instantly.  In a Jiffy.  Day saved.  Report filed.  Now toss that stuff they tell you is coffee away and go buy yourself a nice Americano down the street.

When Big Al doesn’t give you a taxi receipt

Over the past few years, I’ve been to plenty of sales events and trade shows.  Meetings with vendors and reps.  Dinners with co-workers and clients.    I’ve learned to organize my receipts on the flight home and image them using my handy iPhone app.  This makes it easy to upload them once my WIFI reconnects and then they are populated in my queue for building my dreaded expense report.

Then it happens.  I have a gap in my travels not documented by these scraps of carbon-copied, BPA-filled paper.  Humm.  I made it to the restaurant in a taxi.  But how did I make it back to the hotel?  I check my credit card statement and find the charge.  $34.00 to “TAXI World” that somehow I do not have a receipt for.  Unfortunately, my expense report cannot be submitted without a receipt.  I call our accounting department and they are no help.  Sorry – you’ll need to contact the taxi company and get a replacement receipt.  Well that is impossible!  The credit card charge doesn’t list a contact number and how am I ever going to call “Big Al” – the baritone beast that provided me a lift back to my hotel that night?  He is a thousand miles away and lord knows he isn’t going to answer his flip-phone and FAX me a copy of my receipt during his downtime.  No way.

For this purpose – you need to create a replacement taxi receipt.  Report submitted. Report approved.  Cash in my account.  Credit card bill happily paid.  Everyone is happy.
