Plain Text Output

rbuser

I'm trying to use Waler Devices to output hardcoded characters to a barcode
printing device on LPT1 and it appears I'm getting some unwanted printer or
report setup codes. It may be lines per inch or pitch?

I can output everything I need using an RB Report and stuffing a memo field
with the appropriate escape sequences and database fields. It's just the
extra junk at the very start of the report that I can't seem to control.

Thanks! Jon Gray

Here is some sample output for (2) barcode labels. Note the "junk" before
the first ^XA. That's what I need to get rid of.

The DotMatrix device is sending printer ESC codes. I will add an option
to control this and send you the code.

I know you have been busy with the latest release....

Just curious if this enhancement made it in the latest maintenance release?

I looked but couldn't find anything.

I sent you the latest with the new PrinterType property that should
do what you want.
