Up until recently, all our printers were HP models and we used the following commands for printing, without issue.

132 Col start
/027E/027&l0O/027(0U/027(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b0T/027&l
66P/027&l2E/027&l7.8689C/027&l66F/027&k2G
80 Col start
/027E/027&l0O/027(8U/027(s0p10h12v0s0b3T/027&l66P
/027&l2E/027&l7.8689C/027&l66F/027&k2G
We recently changed to a Canon 3580I. We've tried to use the same commands but the printer is truncating the last 2 characters of the printout. The printer vendor reckons that the printer is seeing the printout as being letter rather than A4.
Can anybody help me to resolve this ?
 
Your best way forward is to use the printer manual , there is no setup in MFG/PRO for A4 or letter, Its all in the Control codes, trial & error is only way.
 
This part of your escape codes is wrong: /027&l2E
It should be /027&l2 for Letter or /027&l26 for A4

The E in your code resets all previous settings.

 
Thanks for your help. I tried changing the Esc characters but still have the same problem.
Previously, I used the same Esc characters on the HP printers with no issues. It just looks like the print starts 1 character space to the right with the Canon printer.
Do you know of any way of controlling where the print starts using the control characters?
 
hello,


append the following command...

/027&a#L (In place of # you have to put no of columns, this command is for left margin)

Add this command at both sides.
