We design and sell restaurant POS systems written in vb6.
We are upgrading from XP to Win 7 operating systems.
The receipt printers with 3 inch wide paper rolled paper we use no long accept an old 8340 emulation. We are forced to convert the code to esc/pos code.
This is a very popular code for restaurant receipt printers especially Epson who created the code.
I am amazed I cannot find anything on the internet of how to actually write this code. I am sure it is there; just can't find it. I am using the search name esc/pos and that may be the problem.
I have a few code samples. I also have the code commands provided by the printer companies. The problem is the commands assume you know what you are doing.
A typical example line would be
PRINT #1,Chr$(&H1D; "v"; Chr$(66); Chr$(0)
This line is supposed to feed and cut the paper.
Does anyone know where I can find information on how to write this code?
In advance, thanks for your help.
