Printing on a card printer and encoding the magnetic stripe in one go?

rbuser

Hi,

I can print the front side of a card with ReportBuilder without problems.

I can also encode the magnetic track of the cards by sending en escape
sequence to the printer.

What I would like to do is to print the front side and encode the track
in one go. I guess that I need to somehow attach the escape sequence to
the stuff that ReportBuilder sends to the printer, but I don't know how
to do that.

Any ideas would be extremely appreciated


Thanks,
VasjaS

Hi Vasja,

Take a look at the following example on how you can send escape codes to the
printer from ReportBuilder. It is currently on our todo list to enhance the
ability to use esc codes from within RB for a later releases.
