Re: SQR and micrDIMM printing/sending escape sequences to the pri nter

Daniel,


We have a local check print process with very similar code.  Our code is as
follows:

!printer escape sequence for the check signature font

  encode '<27>&l0O<27>(1Q<27>(s0p1.00h72.0v0s0b0T' into $SigFont

!the bank city/state prefix as printed on the check as part of the
!hyphenated numerator of the fractional bank routing number

All of the HP LaserJet PCL commands are available on-line at
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpl02705.html .


Hope this helps  ---

printer


Hi

I am planning to use MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) encoding for
printing an internal reference number and bank account number on an invoice
for a client (similar to that on the bottom of a bank check).  I believe it
is similar to optical character reading (E-13B/CMC-7) printing.

I will be printing the SQR report from PeopleSoft using a HP LaserJet
printer.  I suppose I am wondering if anyone has done this before using SQR
and if anyone has any advise or examples of the code that will enable me to
achieve this.

My understanding is that I need to send escape sequences to the printer.  I
found the SQR command ENCODE, but it seems like it is only for a set range
and I was not sure if this would be sufficient.

Anyway, if anyone has information/advise on this process I would love to
hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Archibald.
