    I want to output a bitmap file to a POS printer using VB6. The ESC/POS mode should be used. Does the file need to be converted? If yes how? Is there documentation or an example? Printing and formatting text is no problem. I just can't find any way to solve the problem. Thank you.

        Thank you. However, the solution does not describe how to use the ESC/POS mode.

          In my experience, the printer would come with various Windows driver(s) and / or "DOS" programs when it came to printing "bit maps". You scoured the vendor's web site for samples, downloads and links. The "name" of your printer is more important than what you've posted so far.

          "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

            Thank you. All POS printers we use support ESC/POS mode. Do the graphic files need to be converted? If yes how?
