Special printer commands

Hi

I have a question:
my printer has inernal barcode fonts.
former in Q&A it was possible to send printercommands to the printer that this one prints out e.g. numbers to barcodes.
is there a possibility to send this command to the printer with a command like printstring() or anything like that
i tried it with printstring() but it does not work

as additional information the printer is a kyocera fs1550

Hello Sebastian,

I believe Tom Marcellus had an article about this in a back issue of Inside Sesame. Here it is Page 2 of the June 2004 Issue. He is using FileOpen to open the printer and write out the printer codes.

You can contact Tom at mailbox@insidesesame.com and he will be able to help you out.

Is there a special reason to use the barcode font built into the printer as opposed to any of the generally available bar code fonts?

crow:
the generally avalible fonts for EAN13 and EAN8 costs about 100€ and the printer has them inside for free

if i could use Code39 or anything like that i would be happy because they are for free but my scanners can not read them configured for EAN13 (i think most used in europe)

ray:
i will try to reach him thanks for your help

It is possible to open a "device" using FileOpen and write to it using FileWrite - just as you would a file, by replacing the filename with the device name ("COM", "PRN", "LPT", etc... (assuming you are on Windows. Linux uses different device names)). Where and when in your code, you would do so might take a bit of experimenting.
