Your ESCAPE [CHAR(27)] may well be intercepted. Check your terminal / terminal emulation specification for what it might intercept.
Odds on it that never gets to the printer. You might be able to send an alternate character (155 for example - 128+27) or use a different slave print mode (e.g. passthru'). Otherwise there may well be something in the emulation documentation that tells you how to "escape" and ESCAPE. I've seen this done a few ways: CHAR(27) meaning escape; followed CHAR(27) meaning ESCAPE again - but the ESCAPE was escaped meaning send an ESCAPE. The addition of 128 to the ASCII value was another, I've also seen games with SI and SO to "escape" a character.

I have tried to send the escape sequence but it is not being interpreted by the printer, just printed out. Change HP printer to landscape. Using print CHAR(27):" &l1O" Thanks, James Hutchinson ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
