Urgent help needed - esc codes to printer

[Zeev Goldstein]

hi,
i am trying to print to bixolon spp-r200 BT printer.
i use as an example the "SerialExample" found in the forum and it works very well.

the problem: i need to send an escape code to the printer, how do i do it ?

i tried chr(27) & chr(116) & "33" but this does not work

i need to send Esc t 33 to change the code page

this is quite urgent and i will appreciate any help

thanks

From the manual here it looks like it needs

chr(27) & chr(116) & chr(33)

or

chr(27) & chr(116) & "!"

or

chr(27) & "t!"

thank you,

but i have tried it all, nothing worked

Have you tried OutputStream.WriteBytes to directly write the required byte values?

not yet, could you please show an example of init and print Esc t 33 using outputstream ?
thanks alot

Agraham's escC sequence should work.

Use a textWriter, initialize it using the chosen socket, and writeLine(chr(27) & chr(116) & chr(33))

thanks, something is wrong perhaps in printer rom...
i can't get the right language and i get gibberish instead
it used to have hebrew on it but it was very long time off so perhaps the rom was erased
