control characters

Hi
I have an application that needs to trigger the opening of a cash drawer
connected to a parallel printer. The drawer is opened when it receives a
control G. I need to do this after the printing a sales receipt. Any
suggestions.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

I would suggest using either the OnEndPage or OnAfterPrint event in
ReportBuilder to send the keyboard sequence to the printer. The OnEndPage
event will fire after a page has been generated and the OnAfterPrint event
fires after the report has either been printed to screen or a device.
