EPSON matrix printer -- printer codes??

rbuser

Hello,

I am printing a report on continuos paper using an Epson printer. And the
accuracy is great. My customer has now ask for a form feed after the
report prints so they can rip the page off and then just before the printer
prints again, for it to go down to the proper position top of the page
(continuous paper)

I know I can do this (at least the first part) by sending a Form Feed
directly to the printer. Is there a way via Report builder to send a Form
Feed??

Thanks,

Isi R

Hi Isi,

ReportBuilder renders to the printer using the Delphi TCanvas class and via
calls to Windows GDI functions.

We do not have any direct experience with sending escape codes directly to
the printer driver. According to the Windows API documentation, the
ExtEscape function allows applications to access capabilities of a
particular device that are not available through GDI. Try searching the
Windows API docs and Google for more information.
