Matrix printer page format

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I've defined my own page format / format type that I use with ZJP5577 output device.

I use a 280 x 128 mm portrait format. And a copy of INCH 5 escape sequences with my own format type. Also, the print control are the one copied from the standard JP5577 output device.

As a result it seems that each time a new page is output, the printer takes app 20 lines before starting the ouptut.

Also, eventhough I've tried with INCH5 in my Smartform, same result.

Is it related to the "reset after exit" escape sequence or the "print initialization" or any print control?

Any idea?

Dear all,

It seems the hexa value defined by SAP for standard device type JP5577 related to format INCH5 is wrong :

1. set page length to 5 inch (=30 lines at 6 LPI)

\e\x7e\x04\x00\x02\x01\x19

x19 = 25 and not 30

For 30 lines it should be 1E.

1. set page length to 5 inch (=30 lines at 6 LPI)

\e\x7e\x04\x00\x02\x01\x1E
