Try a "different" font. Thermal printers have different densities (dpi). Some fonts (may) work better than others. Or you're sending an "image" that needs scaling; i.e. it doesn't match the paper size; causing blurring.

Or your paper is the problem.

Without knowing how you are generating and printing the receipt, we can;t even begin to give you any specific advice.

And remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

Use a clear font.

Is your thermal printer getting a bitmap as input, or a string ? The printer supports multiple fonts ... unusual ?

This seems to be sound advice:
1. Use the built-in fonts on the device
2. Use fonts that are Bitmap, and not True-Type
