Ascii Write From SLC504 to Serial Printer

[matsusi]

I'm doing an ascii write to a printer and I can get all of my characters (put my to print characters in the string text of my ST:X) to print properly. I can do a carriage return with no problems as well (use ^j^m in the string text of my ST:X). My problem comes when I try to change the font size. I'm not able to get the character size to change no matter what I send to the printer. Does anyone have any ideas of what I'm missing? I know it has to be something too simple.
BTW, I have seen this printer print larger font sizes so I know it is possible.

Printers used to require an escape sequence for changes lik that I seem to recall it was a string with the left square bracket in it.

Yep you need the printer manual or you're not gonna know what escape sequence you need to send to call up font changes.

Thanks for the responses, I'll check into getting a manual for the unit.
