Hi Renato, I had some problems designing some forms for use with Psion Archive some years ago. Apart from the default PICA size (80 chrs per 8 inch line = 10CPI) I also used the ELITE size (96 chrs per 8 inch line = 12CPI) and CONDENSED size (144 chrs per 8 inch line = 17.75 CPI) Your codes may be different but I used the Shift In (CHR$(15)) code to turn CONDENSED Chrs ON and Shift Out Code (CHR$(18)) to turn it OFF again.
Always remember that in Archive when printing non-printable characters you should always add a NULL before the character required EG: for Shift In - lprint chr(0)+chr(15); then lprint the text inside inverted commas EG: lprint "Good Morning" Similarly for Shift Out: lprint chr(0)+chr(18); (the ; prevents the printer performing a line space or carriage return. Hope this helps.
