RE: [U2] printing images through unidata
You do have to disallow modification of the print string by the database or spooler. I use 'SETPTR ':lpu:',1024,80,,,1,NFMT,dest ,BRIEF', where lpu is the logical print unit. The no format seems to work. I've seen other suggestions on this list for accomplishing the same. I get errors (UniData 6.0.9 on Solaris 8) when I set the character per line > 1024, though I should probably increase the lines per page.

Goo'day, again, At 17:02 26/09/05 -0400, you wrote: Good question: I downloaded Tom's demo image and entered the 2 code examples. The import went fine (I think) and what I get when I do a test print is: p10h12v0s0b4099T 1y3X Looks like there should be something like ESC:'(s0' (for example) in front of the "p10h" making ESC:'(s0p10h12v0s0b4099T' the ESC:'(s' for a "font set", "0p" standing for "fixed spacing", "proportional" being '1p' - 10h being "pitch", 12v being "height" - point size, 0s being "font style" - 0 = upright, 1 = italic, 4 = condensed, etc, 0b = "stroke weight" - 0 = medium 3 = bold -3 = light, etc, 4099T = typeface.. and ESC:"*p" in front of the '1y3X' making ESC:"*p1y3X' with ESC:'*p" = "position" and 1y = y-coordinate, 3X = x-coordinate.

Re: [U2] printing images through unidata
I was able to use Tom Pellitieri's code successfully. I did have to reverse the output of rows to the printer, however, and I found it easier to use decipoints than PCL units. I also found that the pixel width of the imported image had to be a multiple of 32 (8 bits times 4 bytes). Are you having problems with the import of the image or printing it?
