Default help with PCL6 directly from D3 - 06-28-2006 , 09:04 PM






I would like to start using PCL6 instead of PCL5, but I cannot seem to
get it to work at all.
I am using both D3NT and D3Linux7.4.
could someone kindly provide me with a sample programme that just
prints in 2 fonts.

I know it should be easy, but I am making a mess of it

specifically are you trying to do?

I would imagine that with the "X" after the first 12345, you'd need
another ESC - CHAR(27) ...... that X being a capital x... thereby
terminating the PCL ESC sequence.

I haven't looked too far but I couldn't find a reference to ESC:"%"
What are you trying to achieve?

Try putting a char(27) in front of the string.
