I have a user who wishes to use a dot matrix printer to print mailing labels with an Access report. The printer is an Epson DFX5000+ . They print these labels by the thousands so I need to use printer fonts for the sake of speed. Here's my problem: I need to be able to send escape codes to the printer to toggle print modes (ie. bold and wide modes) on one of the lines in the label. I have attempted to string the codes into the text box value (before and after the actual value) but they don't seem to be affecting the printer. In fact, the printer prints periods in place of the codes. Here's an example of the text box control source:
=chr(27) & chr(14) & "some number" & chr(27) & chr (20)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
=chr(27) & chr(14) & "some number" & chr(27) & chr (20)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
