It looks like you're missing the point of the macro - simply load it into the printer once and print multiple times. Your converter may allow you to load it to the printer, otherwise you actually copy it to the printer (not print it). Under Windows we simply: EXECUTE "!COPY /B \UD\LOGOS\LOGO.MAC \\UNCPathToPrinter" Sorry, not sure of the Linux syntax. It only needs to be done when the printer is powered off an loses the macro so you can do it from a screen etc. Although we have one very distributed site that preferred we send the macro before the print job to make sure it was there. In your code you simply do a: PRINT CHAR(27):'&f':LOGONUM:'y2X' to print the logo. This simply specifies and executes the macro. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada > From: David Hoover > > I am trying to place a logo that is stored at /area1/dh.temp/M100_3Logo.pcl > on a form that I am creating in PCL5.
