Support Forum - Epson "Control Font" doesnt show in Editor

Hi, I need to open CashDrawer everytime a Ticket Report is sento to an Epson POS
printer. The only thing the Epson needs is an 'A' character sent to the printer
using the font named "control". This font shows in any app in windows once the
Epson driver is previously selected as Print Device.
But is doesn´t show in the Font List in the ReportManager Editor.

I tried opening the .rpt in clarion and writing directly in the 'A' record, the
font name as "control" and nothing happens.

Has anybody open an Epson cash drawer with FRB?

Othoniel,

I am using standard Clarion FONTDIALOG([title] ,typeface [,size] [,color] [,style] [,added] ) procedure with omitted [,added] parameter in FRB.

added - An integer constant or variable that specifies adding screen or printer fonts, or both, to the list of available fonts. Zero (0) adds screen fonts, one (1) adds printer fonts, and two (2) adds both. If omitted, only Windows registered fonts are listed.

Since you have Epson driver installed on your computer, please run following test program at your computer and see if this FONTDIALOG allows to select your "control" font. Please, try with different Added parameter (0, 1, 2, omitted) and let us know the result.

  PROGRAM
  MAP
  END
FontName    STRING(32)
FontSize    LONG
FontColor   LONG
FontStyle   LONG
Added       LONG(2)
  CODE
  IF FONTDIALOG('Select font',FontName,FontSize,FontColor,FontStyle,Added)
    MESSAGE(FontName,'Selected font name')
  END


Thank you,

Oleg, effectively using the ADDED parameter makes the test programa show the
"control" font, with values 1 and 2 the font shows.. and with value = 0 doesn´t
show

What´s next?

Oleg, the added=3 doesn´t show the control font in the test app, only values of
1 and 2. You said that in the new fixed release of FRB you asigned added=3 ?

Othoniel,

Sorry for the mistake in my message.
Actually, I used the added=2 parameter.

Thank you,
