Hi
I have to print to a pre-printed form on a dot matrix printer but although the file displays correctly on the screen it just prints a lot of ^$%t.
I am using CourierNew in the report.
If I print from a Word document using CourierNew then it prints the details ok.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

| Is it a serial connection? If so did you set up the parameters correctly? (sParamter) |

Hi Eric
In order to print to dot matrix correctly using a report ,
The printer should be configured with the generic text only driver and report should work for latin characters correctly.
Otherwise in the driver of the generic printer you should check your options regarding code page.
If you want complete control then the way for matrix printer is to use code.
Using fopen, friteline, fclose

[code:wl]
[/
// in place of "LPT1:" could also be used the unc shared name \\server\matrix
res= fOpen("LPT1:", foCreateIfNotExist+foAdd+foReadWrite+foAnsi)
IF ErrorOccurred THEN
Info("Printer error !")
GOTO exitproc
//Close()
END
fWrite(res,Charact(27)+Charact(Asc("@")))
fwriteline(res,"")
fwriteline(res,"")
fwriteline(res," "+Invonum+" "+datetostring(dt,"dd/mm/yyyy"))
