Changing print quality for a certain label

edited July 2006 in General
Epson FX-890 Printers. Default to draft quality

The last Label on a form needs to print in high quality.(I set text to bold
but quality is not enough)
Then return to draft quality.

Can this be achieved with some form of esq code etc ?

Cheers

    Check the documentation for the printer to determine whether that is
    possible and if so what escape code is required.

    In the Windows API, the quality is controlled via the printer devmode
    structure, but the devmode can be set only on a page by page basis and some
    of the devmode settings, such as duplex are used only when the print job is
    started.

    Hi,
    you can use indeed an escape code if you are printing in text mode and not
    graphics to switch to nlq and then back..

    Excuse my ignorance but am I printing in text mode from my reports. All the
    data that is printed is text but with 3 different font sizes no rotation.
    They are printed from DBText boxes.
    If I select an in built font will that force the printer to use text mode.

    Thanks in advance

    How do I send an escape code to set "high quality" before print of DBText
    box then turn of "high quality" after printing.
