Re: How to print hexadecimal on a printer

We have a receipt print that issues the cut command to an Epson printer

Here is the DDS

A R DK3113E2
A TEXT('CUT RECEIPT')
A 1X'1B691B40'
A TRNSPY

Are you using the TRNSPY keyword ?

Cheers

Don

Hi,

I need to print to an epson TM-m30 printer from an rpg program. On the
last
line I must print these hexadecimals x'1D'x'E5'x'F1 '(equivalent to ascii
x'1D'x'56'x'31') to cut the printer paper. When I generate the information
to a db2 table and transfer it to notepad ++ I find that the last line has
the ascii characters

which is correct and is what I need. When I generate the spool into a
printer file in iSeries and print it, the paper is not cut. When printing
the spool in hexadecimal characters the last line has the hexadecimals 20
56 31 and should be 1D 56 31. The spool file is compiled with DEVTYPE *
SCS
and RPLUNPRT * NO. The iSeries is 7.3.
Does anyone have a recommendation? . Thank you.
