Re: Enlarging text on printer file for 1 field only not whole report.

Mark,

How do you know if your printer is an *IPDS?  I can print barcodes using
*AFPDS device type.  I changed this on the printer file description.
Also, when I pulled up the printer device description to change advanced
print function to *yes, I could not find this parameter.  This printer
device is set up as a 3812 device type.  Does that have anything to do with
it?
