Epson TM-T88III Thermal Printer

I'm now using VB.NET to write a POS which it need to drive the epson
thermal printer. I have no problem to use the printer by using
"PrintDocum ent" onject provided by Vb.NET. But I think the speed for
print is too slow, anyone know how I can speed it up??

P.S. I know if I directly output some print command to the com port,
the speed will become much more faster. But because I need to use
network to share the printer ( for example 3 work station with 1
thermal printer), seems it is difficult to handle this suitation if
noe using printDocument.

Cheers
Alan

Use Win32 API for printing to the printer.

This will enhance the speed greatly. Actually what happens here is that
text is sent to the printer as clear text whereas, printdocument sends
text as graphics.

The other way to print real fast is OPOS drivers for Epson.

You can contact me if you need more information.

I am trying to insert special characters into text of a rich text edit box. The user should be able to press a toolbarbutton to insert a specific character. I have looked up RTF codes for (c) and (R) etc. and tried the following code: richTextBox1.SelectedRtf = @"{\rtf1\ansi \'99}"; This properly inserts a "TM" symbol in the text.

I've got a TM-T88IV with paralell port, also I downloaded Epson JavaPOS ADK. When I want to add my TM-T88IV there is a section where the program ask me what kind of port I am using, I want to say paralell but it doesn't have that option (only serial, usb, wired and wireless). My question is that if the TM-T88IV with paralell interface support JavaPOS? Thanks in advance Marco
