pageprinter.def

[M4T VW]

So with this piece of software i want to print to my lable printer and not my A4 one.

It only lets me use the "pageprinter.def" file as the layout but its setout for A4.

Does anyone know about these types of files?

Here is a sample of whats in it.


[MAIN]
Source=Trunk
PaperWidth=8.25
PaperHeight=5.8
Orientation=1
Comment=(A5) Use on Laser/Inkjet printers.

1,ftData,HouseDetailsLine2,0.3,4.7,2.7,4.85,Arial, 11,


What im thinking is changing the pageprinter.def file to my own layout and then pointing it to my thermal printer.

what software is that for?

[M4T VW]

Its for a piece of Business Post software called Consignor.
You wont find it on the internet though.

Just wondered if anyone knew anything like the .Def files?

Thinking about it, I have the zebra .def too. I could copy the text in that (Same lable size) to the pageprinter.def and it should print to my Citizen!

Yup found that. I have a file waiting for approval in the MOD section at the moment about getting into the licence file.
I think they would give me a new licence if i asked but it wouldnt be easy.

I can edit the pageprinter.def though so i can put anything i want in that!
