Hi Alfonso:
Give these a try:

*RESET
??? CHR(027) + CHR(069)

*PORTRAIT
??? CHR(027) + CHR(038) + CHR(108) + CHR(048) + CHR(079)

*LANDSCAPE
??? CHR(027) + CHR(038) + CHR(108) + CHR(049) + CHR(079)

*10 pitch = 80 characters, 12 point
CHR(027) + CHR(040) + CHR(115) + CHR(049) + CHR(048) + CHR(072)

*12 pitch = 96 characters, 10 point
??? CHR(027) + CHR(040) + CHR(115) + CHR(049) + CHR(050) + CHR(072)

*16.67 pitch = 134 characters, 8.5 point
CHR(027) + CHR(040) + CHR(115) + CHR(049) + CHR(054) + CHR(046) + CHR(054) + CHR(055) + CHR(072)

*6 lines/inch
??? CHR(027) + CHR(038) + CHR(108) + CHR(054) + CHR(068)

*7 lines/inch
??? CHR(027) + CHR(038) + CHR(108) + CHR(054) + CHR(046) + CHR(056) + CHR(053) + CHR(067)

*8 lines/inch
??? CHR(027) + CHR(038) + CHR(108) + CHR(056) + CHR(068)

*ROMAN (no ASCII graphics symbols)
??? CHR(027) + CHR(040) + CHR(058) + CHR(085)

*PC8 (with ASCII graphics symbols)
??? CHR(027) + CHR(040) + CHR(049) + CHR(048) + CHR(085)

Good luck.

My reports include printer codes for call from different printers in my PRINTER.DBF.

I need and use use Standard 10 CPI (fixed font) codes for reports from my app. I notice some differences and encountered problems as users switch from Dot Matrix to HP Jets & Lasers. I also notice differences and more problems between 600 Series and 900 Series (PCL3 / PCL5)?

Switching from FPD26 to FPW26 presented even more challenges. I can't seem to print 'condensed' in FPW using the same ESC codes I used succesfully in FPD.

I am using RAW SETTING and printing DIRECT TO PRINTER to bypass Windows printer setup.

Any insight or assistance would be appreciated.
