EPSON TM PRINTER DRIVERS FOR
WINDOWS 3.1/NT/95/98
EPSON's TM-series has some features that do not occur in normal printers, and Windows does
not provide any standard way to access these features. To make these features accessible
from Visual Basic and other programming languages, the driver has assigned special meaning
to some of the characters between 128 and 160 (80H to 9FH)
When an application tries to print one of these characters, the driver will replace
the character with the appropriate command. These characters have to be sent using one of
the printer fonts, not a TrueType font.
The driver will also allow characters in the range 0 to 31 (0H to 1FH) to be passed
through to the printer. This allows the application to send some commands to the printer.
Unfortunately Visual Basic treats Horizontal Tab, Line Feed, and Cariage Return as special
characters and will not send those characters through to the driver. The character codes
149, 150, and 151 can be used in place of HT, LF, and CR. These characters have to be sent
using one of the printer fonts not a TrueType font. |
