I have this bat file I created using the code under Drawing Rectangles (PCL),when I run it I get this message '<-' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. Not sure what I am doing wrong, I have tried it with and w/o the *, putting a space before the * and after *, I even placed >prn at the end of every line. I have window 2000 as my OS can this be the problem. (I also tried it not using the dos editor and got the same results.|Delete 'P-' before: '' but after: 'Using DOS EDIT on an IBM PC to set up test files to enter the PCL commands from the Drawing Rectangles page in place of the word "hello".

I forgot to mention when I try to run the .bat file I get this command is not supported internal or external, I have win 2000 os, and I followed the Sending Escape Sequences in DOS and even that produced the same error.'

I am just getting started with PCL, but I can't get it to print anything,I have a lexmark printer do I have to have a HP printer to do this, also I am creating the macros using the ms dos editor and saving the file as a . bat file. Can this be used with Excel VBA or VB?

It does nothing. The *p command is for cursor positioning. The X at the end indicates that this will affect the X (horizontal) position of the cursor. The + sign means that the change will be relative to the current position and the value 0 changes the position by 0/300ths (or 0/600ths if you are at 600dpi, etc...) of an inch. So... no change. If it was Esc*p+1X then the cursor would advance to the right one pixel. Esc*p-1X would move the cursor one pixel to the left. Esc*p0X would move the cursor to the left edge of the printable area. As to why someone would add that in a PCL file? I would guess that the PCL was generated by a program and that the program was too dumb to know that it didn't have to "move the cursor zero places" when it happened to already be at the desired location.' at: '' bottujm@agf.fr asks: " Hello,
