This particular printer requires a special sequence to put it in graphics mode; one of the characters in this sequence is an ascii null. All attempts thus far to get a null char output have failed. There does not seem to be any problem outputting any other control char (in RAW mode). If anyone can provide me with a clue to a method to get a null on output, please send me mail. Thanks in advance, Dan Haynes haynes%ncar@csnet-relay.arpa ARPA haynes@ncar.csnet CSNET hao!haynes UUCP
