Dot Matrix Printer
-
for a point of sale software, we uses the dot matrix printer for printing, so we need the printer commands for skipping, rollbacking paper etc....any idea ? thanks in advance Ninety-eight percent of the thrill comes from knowing that the thing you designed works, and works almost the way you expected it would. If that happens, part of you is in that machine.

These commands almost ALWAYS absolutely vary by printer (or at least by manufacturer), and involve sending escape sequences to the printer to tell it to do such things. You can communicate with printer in RAW data format mode, but you will still need to write an interface layer to send it the proper escape sequences. There is no special 'built in' windows commands I am ever aware of to tell printer to do such things. I think there is an article here on CodePrject about writing to printer in the RAW mode.

thanks, i am using the EPSON printer ( atleast they have the same escape sequences ? ) Ninety-eight percent of the thrill comes from knowing that the thing you designed works, and works almost the way you expected it would. If that happens, part of you is in that machine.
