thank you very much for this link, but know now not more. i have no idea to send ESC sequenses to the printer. can you send me more information or something like this? thanks

Try this:

chrESC : Char
txtESCCodes : Text20

chrESC := 27;
txtESCCodes := FORMAT(chrESC) + '&l4H';

The variable txtESCCodes is placed in a textbox on your report.

thanks, but it doesn't work. the epson print only '?' and oder characters on the full page. can you send me a full report that works? then i can try it on the printer. thanks

This comes from the thread mentioned before:

Even in Financials/Attain you can create a string containing the ESC-sequence and send it to the printer. Problem is most recent printerdrivers will ignore such sequences.

Using others (mostly older printer drivers) can sometime solve the problem - but obviously using "wrong" drivers might cause problems when selecting trays etc.

But still -- experimenting with other drivers might solve the problem. One driver that is known to allow ESC-sequences is HP4-Si -- this driver will work for most recent HP-printers as well.

thanks, the printer works now.

Anyway with newer epson printerdrivers for Windows a special font is often included which can be use to control the printer, the control font.

With this, certain characters have special meening to the printer when formated in a normal Navision control (label or textbox) with this control font.

Du you by any chance have a list over these characters and what they do in the control font?
