What Software and version are you running?

 

[SalvadorM]

The software is Win32 and the versión is 5.1

 

[hosehead78]

Not sure I have heard of this software. Who makes it?
Also, what does the script look like where you are adding the startprint command?

 

[SalvadorM]

forgiveness for not explaining well, the problem is a selling point with micros 3700, for what I know is how I can send startprint call the command to print an image on a ticket

 

[hosehead78]

Not sure if you can print an image from the isl scripting "startprint" function. I know Barcodes can be done. I haven't tried images.

Standard print function

startprint printer
   printline “---------------------------”
   printline @dwon, @redon, “chit”
   printline “----------------------------”
   @dwoff, @redoff
endprint

 

[SalvadorM]

yes, I am familiar command startprint just wanted to know if you can print images with the command or if someone else to do it.
you know of any?

 

[hosehead78]

I have't, honestly I haven't even tried. You will also need to make sure the printer is capable of printing images.

What have you tried so far?

 

[hosehead78]

Looking through a few things, it looks like you can add a Logo image to the printer and then have it print that. I'm not 100 percent sure on how this works as I have never set this up.

Another way may be to call a dll that would be installed on the workstations that is called via the ISL script, which tells the printer to print the image. Not sure how this would work, but its something to try.

 

[SalvadorM]

ok, thank you very much, proves everything you've told me and investigare more.

If i remember correctly you need to but ~~ before the file name and it attempts to print it.

startprint @CHK
   printline “---------------------------”
   printline "~~MyFile.bmp"
   printline “----------------------------”
   @dwoff, @redoff
endprint

NOTE: MyFile.bmp must be in the bitmap folder. eg. \CF\Micros\Bitmaps
1. I havent tested this recently, but i remember it working in the past (years ago)
2. The file must be quite small. Around 12KB maximum i think.
3. The file must be a monochrome bitmap.

@CathalMF, Does this work for 9700 and or 3700 Systems? Thanks for the info.

I've tried this on the 9700 system and it prints out the ~~MyFile.bmp, I also tried it without the " and it doesn't work. Any thoughts?

 

[CathalMF]

Not its only for 3700, 9700 doesnt have any support for logo printing.

I didn't think so. How about barcodes (without having to use a dll or other item outside the Winclient).
