ANN: TExtraDevices for ReportBuilder 2.02 Now Available
TExtraDevices for ReportBuilder 2.02 has been released with the following features:
New PRN device available that automatically formats your report for dot matrix printers
It includes options for continuous paper, characters per inch, lines per inch and port
This new device greatly simplifies the creation of dot matrix reports within RB. Just
design your report following your charcter/line spacing selected within the options
and call print. At that time the device will translate the report to printer escape codes for dot
matrix printers and sent the report directly to the port specified in the options. You can
also send the report with escape codes directly to a file for later printing.
Some of the features:
- Faster printing since you are not using graphic drivers
- Font bold, underline & italics are preserved from your report layout
- Advanced memo handling for side by side memos
- Continuous paper option for receipt printers
- User specified port for final report or save to file with escape format
PDF correction for center underlined text
XHTML correction for enabling

just curious,
you say you use escape codes,
does this mean you have some kind of tranlation file for these esc codes?
also is it possible to print to a pos printer wich is connected to another
machine (then you'll have to use the driver to get the data to the other
side)
or are you using the Escape() windows function to push the data to the
printer?
thx

fonts, style, etc. I am using a subset that works with Epson, Panasonic, Okidata, etc.
The Port property should work with any port you could normally
open with standard Delphi AssignFile(). I have not tested this
with another machine, but if you mapped LPT1 to another
machines printer it should work in theory.
