How to use form feed.
- Thread starter Bob507
- Start date
Printers use several different command sets (normally referred to as emulations), some of which don't respect form-feeds. Your printer manual will tell you the correct escape sequence to use.
It would be more resilient to use a library to drive the printer rather than having to change your code for different models of printers: [tt]Printer[/tt] and it's 'doze counterpart, [tt]Win32:
rinter[/tt], would be good places to start.

["]As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.["]
