Re: Pocket PC printing? IRDA, Bluetooth

You should have some documentation that comes with your printer about the
PCL, but the delay is something I found out by accident. The printers I have
worked with take an input stream that defines the page size, sets the fonts,
etc., and the docs for your printer should provide this. But I found I also
had to delay, sometimes only 10 milliseconds, after sending each line of
text to get it to actually work. You might also need to send the EJECT code,
whatever that is for your printer, before you see anything useful. Now that
you've got the light flickering, it sounds like you've got the right port.
You might need to double check the baud, parity, etc., and remember that all
the data you send to these printers needs to be ASCII and not Unicode.
