I'm having a problem sending codes to an Okidata 393 printer to change the form length. For this Oki there are two ways you can do it: either set the form length in inches or lines. Inches: ESC C NUL 11 [set to 11 inch form] Lines: ESC C 66 [set 66 lines per page] The only difference is the NUL in the inches setting. The way I have been trying to send this is with: echo -n "^[C\000011" When this is directed to a file and viewed with vi, I get: ^[C11 Is the NUL supposed to show in vi? When this is sent to the printer it behaves as though it was sent the Lines setting command, without the NUL. Is it possible that the NUL is getting trapped by the system? -- Bill Irwin - The Westrheim Group - Vancouver, BC, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uunet!van-bc!twg!bill (604) 431-9600 (voice) | Your Computer bill@twg.bc.ca (604) 430-4329 (fax) | Systems Partner
