How to print characters with accents in the hpdeskjet using Pick Basic?


I want to print those characters:
á à â ã Á À Â Ã
é É
ç Ç
ú Ú
ó õ ô Ó Õ Ô
ETC...

Thank you.

Cleber,

The way you would print national (accented) chars depends on the manner you
enter them into the database and the codepage you store them in there..

1. The best practice for you would be to use Portugal OEM CP-860 codepage to
type and store your data in Pick. Then if your HPDJ is "portugalized", you
are able to print all your chars straightforward without any additional
effort. This case requires you to use Terminal or Telnet client supporting
CP-860, as such as Anzio, for instance. If your Win2K/XP client workstation
is properly set up for pt_BR locale, Windows built-in Telnet client would
suit as well.

If your printer is not localized, it's still not the problem. Anzio
PrintWizard from Rasmussen Software (www.anzio.com) will print OEM-encoded
chars in any printer over your LAN, including GDI ones (so called
WinPrinters) as well.

This approach works well for the users in Russia (CP-866 in our case).

2. If you aren't able to use CP-860 for some reason, first try to obtain
this capability, it will free you from a lot of headache. If it's not
possible in any way (I don't believe in this, frankly), then you probably
need to know some PCL ESC-sequences, which would do the trick. I recall that
there were postings in CDP dedicated to the use of sophisticated PCL
commands in the Pick printouts.

IMHO I would definitely hate to follow this way. Natinal language standards
these days are well specified and supported by major software and hardware
vendors, so that there's no need to ignore them.
