graphics.drawst ring question

1 New Member
Hi,
Im writing a C# .Net application to print in zebra 2030 thermal receipt printer (Uses 80 mm wide paper). I'm using the windows Graphics object for printing. string text = "Line1\n Line2\n\n\n\n";
e.Graphics.Draw String(text, new Font("Courier New", 12), Brushes.Black, 0, 0);
The problem is Drawstring is not printing 3 blank lines after printing Line2. The receipt is cut after the text Line2.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Take a look at an ASCII table for the exact numbers.
I think you will have better luck sending a true ASCII LineFeed. (LF)

Well \n IS the LF character 0x0A or 12 on the ascii table.
Are you sure your bounding rectangle for drawstring is big enough? And that its set to "wrap" correctly?
What happens if you send the 0x0C character (form feed/new page) does your printer shuffle down?

What if you made your string:
string text = "Line1\n Line2\n \n \n \n"; //adding in extra spaces
Any difference?
How about:
string text = "Line1\n Line2\n\r\n\r\n \r\n"; //adding in carriage returns

Are you sure you're not missing the carriage return key?

Hello, This is a bit of a long post (sorry) but here is the jist of it: I've developed a Windows forms User Control marquee (auto-scrolling text like a readerboard). I'm trying to optimize it so that it'll display very large strings with out comsuming so many resources. That is, as the size of the display string increases, the marquee uses additional CPU cycles. I've considered two possible solutions.

Hi, I've started work on my own control some parts of which use standard controls, others I need to draw on my controls surface to get the display output I require, however.... I seem to be stupid or missing the point. I used DrawString( ) as a simple test but I cannot get it to work at all unless I handle my custom controls Paint event.

Hello! If I use the DrawString below with object of StringFormat as the last object it works good. If I instead remove object StringFormat below as the last object of DrawString I get some rows that are not printed correctly. It's look like when toner is too low for the printer.This is only for some rows. Can somebody explain why this happens? What kind of StringFormat is used when this parameter is missing?

Howdy Folks I have a display where the Graphics.DrawString function is called to display something. Since the text seems to be larger than its bounding rectangle, the call basically splits the string into multiple lines. Is there a way to find out into how many lines the string was split? I am asking because this string is being displayed inside an owner

Hi, I made a tool that compares the texts from 2 richtextboxes and then marks the characters that are different in red. An option needs me to overlap these 2 text data to show the exact difference.

Everything is working fine, but for some reason I need to click the button twice to be able to see something on picturebox....
