Antoni #1 / 3	need help sending control characters epson printer I need help! Is there a way to send control characters (like chr(27);chr(15)) directly to an epson dot matrix printer in order to configure the way it will operate? I have been trying command like Printer.Print Chr(27);chr(15) but no success mainly because windows sends a "." character to the printer. What am I doing wrong? Thanx in advance! Antoni

Henri Leboeu #2 / 3	need help sending control characters epson printer I'm not sure if that will work but it's worth a trial Dim SI SI = Chr$(27) & Chr$(15) Printer.Print SI I have a number of .com files to send printer code to epson dot matrix SI, SO etc. you might be able to shell them to get your printer to change.
