Moisés, you should check your printer manual. It should include codes for all important printer codes. However, I will include a series of #DEFINES at the end of this message, which you can use.

See the #DEFINE statements. I included a #DEFINE to reset all; you may want to add some additional codes here, depending on what you need. For instance, since I sometimes use bold and sometimes italic, "reset all" will turn off both. If you turn bold on, later in the report you should turn only bold off.

>3- Is it possible to print condensed + bold ?

Yes.


Note: PC stands for "printer codes". This is part of my naming convention.

The commands should work with most Epson dot-matrix printers; but some differences do exist between different models.

	#define PC_ESC chr(27)
	#define PC_UNIDIR PC_ESC + "U"
		* unidirectional printing, to improve quality on old printers. User must add chr(1) (on) or chr(0) (off).
	#define PC_PAGELENGTH PC_ESC + "C"
		* page length. Actual length has to be added, like this: PC_PAGELENGTH + chr(66) (for 66 lines)

	* condensed on and off
	#define PC_CONDENSED	chr(15)
	#define PC_NONCONDENSED	chr(18)

	* character-per-inch settings
