Hello there.
I'm trying to replace alarm line printer with Serial Printer Logger. Everything seems to bee working just fine except for scrolling. All it's receiving right now is: TEST<LF> . When it gets to the bottom in data view window scroll bar will appear but I cannot scroll back.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Could you specify a model of your old printer? It possible this is a specialized device that uses a special data exchange protocol. Or may be, your alarm system periodically outputs this test string.
The TEST<LF> is actually a correct data I'm sending to the Serial Printer Logger(SPL). <LF> is a Line Feed controll code converted to ASCII character(SPL allows to either display it or not). So I don't think printer driver is sending any other control characters because I'm not seeing them in the data view window. The setup I'm using is not a strait forward printing though. I've configured Windows Generic Text printer to print to IP port and SPL is configured to receive data from the same IP port. Like I said before I'm getting all the right data I expect to receive but cannot scroll back to view older data even scroll bar is enabled.
