Using printer control codes

rbuser

Hello,

Is there an example or explanation on how to use printer control codes
to control the font size of report builder?

My challenge is to print the header band content so that it fits within 80
characters
and the detail band in a 12 characters per inch so that it would fit within
96 characters.

FYI, This will be printed on a dot matrix printer.

Thanks,

Karen

Hi Karen,

ReportBuilder renders to the printer using the Delphi TCanvas class and via
calls to Windows GDI functions.

We do not have any direct experience with sending escape codes directly to
the printer driver. According to the Windows API documentation, the
ExtEscape function allows applications to access capabilities of a
particular device that are not available through GDI. Try searching the
Windows API docs and Google for more information.
