Hi, we use ESC / POS printer and we need to print the euro symbol.

Any ideas on how to configure that, currently we use:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
escMultiLang = chr(27) + chr(116) + chr(39); //ISO_8859_1
But in the ticket the euro symbol looks like this (attached image).

really hardware specific, how and what kind of output is supported. I
suggest to print a sheet, a table enumerating all chr(0) to chr(255).
There’s probably a € already included without any escape sorcery. Or
overstrike approximation ('C', backspace, '=').

If the printer faithfully follows the iso-8859-1 encoding, then it's
doing right because iso-8859-1 has no euro sign. You need to convert
the UTF-8 characters that Lazarus use to any printer supported
encoding that has the euro sign (iso-8859-15 has it at the $A4
position and windows-1252 has it at the $80 position). The
LConvEncoding unit makes this easy.

In my experience, this differs from printer to printer, what mode it
is running in and the selected font. Read the manual.

Hi!

There was a temporary solution for Windows when the Euro was
introduced:

The € sign was at #127.

Try that.

Thanks, Windows 1252 did the trick

document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
escMultiLang2 = chr(27) + chr(116) + chr(16); //WPC_1252
