Dim RC As Long

Dim pString As Long

Dim pData As String

pData = PTR_DI_DUMMY

pString = Chr(&H1B)+”=”+Chr(&H01)+Chr(&H1B)+"(" + "A" + Chr(&H5) + Chr(&H0)

+Chr(&H61) +Chr(&H64) +Chr(&H5) +Chr(&H0A) +Chr(&H0A) `Storesthedata to be sent by DirectIO

.....Printing process.....

RC = Coptr1.DirectIO(PTR_DI_OUTPUT_NORMAL, pData,

pString )`send the command data (ESC=1 and ESC (A 5 0 61 64 5 A A)
