Re: Escape sequence for MICR to HP printer

[Ben Le <ble@PCC.EDU>]

Paul,
Try this:
<47> = ||'
<38> = |:

Example:

begin-procedure setup
encode '<47>5555<47> <38>666666<38> 7 777 7777<47>' into $print_micr
end-procedure setup

begin-procedure print_micr
print $print_micr       (...) code
end-procedure print_micr

Result: ||'5555||' |:666666|: 7 777 7777||' (in micr code font)

I don't think you need to reset font after print micr line. However for the safe side try to print normal font sequence afterward.

Normal font sequence: encode '<27>(8U<27>(s0p10.00h12.0v0s3b3T' into  $normal_font
Hope this help!
