Trevor, We just did something similar with a Lexmark T612 We bought an IPDS chip for the printer so we could connect it directly to the AS/400 (ISeries). With the IPDS chip you can then use AFP to create your documents. With AFP you can choose different fonts print lines and Graphics to the printer. What we did was create a print file and compiled with a CRTPRTF file(LIB/FILE) devtype(*AFPDS). Below is a sample of the code in the print file. We got a little fancy with ours and used a DB file to hold much of the Static information with its location and the text to be printed. If you have any other questions you can ask on the list or contact me privately...

I want to print the top line of each Ticket in about 36 point and the next 2 lines in 20 Point and the 4th line in 36 Point. As this is my only application that needs large fonts I don't want to purchase a createform type product at AU$6000- My programming experience is in RPGII on our old AS36. The AS36 died last in 2001 and we are natavating the System 36 environment to Native AS400 but I am still learning. Currently I have written the program to read the item master file, output a comma delimited file, then run MS Word 2000 with a mail merge macro. (very messy) Can anyone suggest a simple way to do it? -- _______________________________________________ This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
