How to send unprintable characters to the printer

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I need to send unprintable character with hexa code '02' to the printer. I use SAPscript form.

Is there any chance to send such character to the printer?

Thanks&regards,

In Layout Set....

/: HEX [TYPE printer_language]
. . .
/: ENDHEX

Where printer_language eq POST (Postscript) or PRES (Kyocera Prescribe) or PCL (HP)

Additional parameters

:  XPOS YPOS HEIGHT LEFT (left_indentation)

If a TYPE is specified, the data between HEX-ENDHEX will only be output if the printer "understands" the specified language.

Example Code:

/: HEX
/=1B2A7230.....
/:ENDHEX

Program RSXTXLDMC uploads pixel data and prepares it as HEX-ENDHEX. this data can be save as "normal" SAPScript text...

See "SAPScript Made Easy" manual, Appendix A14
