Hi Oleg, John, thanks for contacting me. I did use online and offline handbooks for writing the ESC/P mode of GRAPHICS, but it seems nobody tested it back then (and I myself only had a HP PCL printer). Only this year, somebody told me GRAPHICS would print an empty page for ESC/P, but he refused to help me to figure out why...
GRAPHICS (the GRAPHPIN part of it) can do both 120x60 (on real 9pin: 120x72) dpi 8 pin modes (in /C mode) as well as 180x180 dpi 24 pin mode. I use the following sequences, ESC=char(27), CR=char(13), LF=char(10), FF=char(12), lo = /C mode, hi = normal mode: Init: Set line spacing lo: ESC A char(8) CR LF hi: ESC 3 char(24) CR LF Bitmap: Send one block of pixels lo, 31 columns 8 rows: ESC L char(31) char(0) hi, 70 columns 24 rows: ESC * char(39) char(70) char(0) Finish: Reset spacing, eject both: ESC 0 FF CR LF > > What namely does not work? ~2 years ago I tried GRAPHICS, but > > got bad results [on Epson LX300]... If you had told me, I could have repaired it 2 years ago... ;-) Eric PS: When I wrote GRAPHICS, I used DOSEMU to grab the printed data. I can send you examples of the PostScript output for testing on real printers, but it looked okay in ghostscript GV ;-). As for the ESC/P part, I tested by writing a minimal simulation of such a printer, with PNG output. So if that is broken, so is GRAPHICS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
