3447.0. "Problems with RapidPrint 500 and escape codes" by CSC32::B_YOUNGWIRTH () Mon Feb 24 1997 17:07

    I have searched the entire notesfile for anything pertaining to the 
    RapidPrint 500 and have not found a thing, so am requesting help here. 
    
    When printing to an LA400 and sending escape sequences, the sequences
    are not being interpreted.  Instead, when sending the following
    sequence 
    <ESC>[4w
    or
    <DCS>4w
    the 4w prints, but that's it.
    
    The customer is printing from an Alpha running OpenVMs 6.2-1H3
    using LAT.  We have been testing by printing from the LAT que
    and also copying directly to the LTA device.  In either case, we have
    not been able to get this to work correctly.  He is printing to an
    LA400 connected to the parallel port on the RapidPrint.  We tried 
    setting the LTA device to PASTHRU, but that did not resolve the
    problem.
    
    The RapidPrint is V3.4/5 (961028), and he is printing to Port_1.  If
    anyone has seen a problem similar to this, please let me know.
    
    Thanks

3447.1Changing protocol to ANSI resolved problemCSC32::B_YOUNGWIRTHThu Feb 27 1997 16:147
    Just in case someone else has the same question.  When selecting the
    parallel port on the LA600, the default is not ANSI (from what the
    customer says, I do not have one here to test with).  By changing the
    protocol to ANSI, it works fine.
