Tip of the Day: Understanding Printer Control Code Labels
Product.......: R:BASE X/X Enterprise (Version 10)
Build.........: 10.0.2.20411 or higher
Section.......: Reports
Keywords......: Label, Printer, Control Code
The PCC (Printer Control Code) Label control, which is part of the
"Advanced Controls"
within the Report Designer, will send any printer or POS cash drawer
code to control
the features of your printer or any other device that accepts
application codes.
The PCC Label supports the following values to be entered into the
Edit Toolbar, which
displays the "Set Value" hint when a PCC Label is selected:
. ABORTDOC - stops the current print job and erases everything the
application has
written to the device since the last ENDDOC
. NEWFRAME - informs the printer that the application has finished
writing to a page
. ENDDOC - ends a print job
. Escape Sequence - "nn nn nn ... nn", Example: 27 13 12 56
Another example of using a control code is if you must instruct your
printer to open a
cash drawer. In this case, you will need to enter the following code
in the "Set Value"
field in order to open the cash drawer before printing the receipt in
an R:BASE POS
system: 27 112 0 50 250
Notes:
The PCC Label control is specifically used for controlling "hardware"
connected to the
computer. It is not to be used to control the text font, size, and/or
style for a report
control, as was supported in legacy DOS versions of R:BASE. If you
need to edit the a
text font, size, and/or style, you must use the Format Toolbar. To
alter the a text font,
size, and/or style on the fly, you must use the PROPERTY command with
a Report Custom EEP.
All hardware PCC codes are only enforced when printing the report to
a printer using the
OPTION PRINTER parameter for the PRINT command.
