Hello Les, Actually I think I've come to another solution. Using PCL I have selected the primary symbol set of ISO 8859-1 (Hex 1B28304E). This in combination with codepage 00371252 seems to print out Ok.
/* */ Trace R Line = '1B45' /* Reset */ Line = Line||'1B28304E' Line = Line||'1B266C304F' /* Portrait */ Line = Line||'1B266C3148' /* Paper Casette */ Line = Line||'1B266130374C' /* Left Margin 5 columns */ Cmd = 'EXEC PPS CODE0037 FILE A (PR IPDELOR' , 'TCPXLBIN 00371252' , 'PREFIX' Line 'SUFFIX 1B45' Say Cmd Cmd More testing...
