Direct Print Data To A Specific Port

To direct print data to a specific port, select Print Direct To Port and specify the Printer Port.

Selecting the FormFeed Terminator option will cause the printer to advance the paper to the top of the form when it has finished printing.

The Output Character Set option enables you to specify the character set used for printing when Print Direct To Port is selected. This allows non-ISO Latin-1 printers to be used.

Selecting Auto Line Feed will cause the printer to print at the beginning of the next line when a carriage return command is received.

When a serial port is selected, clicking the Configure button will display a dialog box in which you can specify the baud rate, parity, flow control, data bits and stop bits settings. These options are described in the Serial Settings section.

If supported, clicking the Advanced button will display a dialog box that enables you to send printer-specific commands to specify, for example, font size, colour, or page header and footer.
