Epson Tm88iii and Advance Drivers

rbuser

I used the simple driver for the point of sale printer and it work well
but my clients want to use the Advance installation (because is ADVANCE)
and the paper cut a inside the bodie of the invoice and at the end it
cut at the inside of the invoice and then make an additional cut where
it should cut. It ignore the settings on the properties of the driver.
On this driver there are option to perform a feed to cut at end of page
or at end of document. It always ignore the changes made on the driver
properties.
I'm using RB 6.03 Delphi 6

Tech Tip: Configuring Printer Specific Options
-------------------------------------------------

The Report.PrinterSetup properties can be used to set the properties that
are common to all printers. Internally RB applies these to the Windows
DevMode structure.


Report.PrinterSetup <----> Windows DevMode <-----> Printer Driver <--->
Printer


Printers often contains additional features, such as output bins, media
types, etc. The Windows DevMode structure can contain a private area that is
used the printer driver to store printer specific options. These can be
configured by using the Printer Driver's built-in properties dialog. These
options can theoritically be set programmatically, the trick is that you
have to know where in the structure to store the option and what values are
valid.

The following example shows how to display the printer properties dialog and
save the devmode for use within RB...
