Is it possible to embed PCL escape sequences into report files?____I am trying to print a single page with a logo from one tray and then duplex print the remainder from the second tray.____Thanks__K

R&R will strip out any calculations that try to use printer escape codes.____You might (and I repeat might) be able to use a CDLL() call to a Windows API to call ExtEscape function from the Windows GDI. But you would need some familiarity with programming to be able to do this successfully. Conceptually I think it might work but there may be a gotcha.____Kathleen__R&R Support

K,____I gave up with trying to included PCL commands into my R&R reports. ____We pre-load a form into printer memory, and need a PCL command to print form with data coming from R&R. Redoing the form into R&R was not an option.____Let us know if you find a way.____Thanks...__Sergio
