Raw Data Printer is an intelligent ActiveX component (DLL) specifically designed for sending raw data to any type of printers, including label printers, ticket printers, RFID printers, barcode printers, check printers and cash registers. It enables you to print raw data and send native printer commands (escape codes) directly to the printer, bypassing any printer drivers. You do not even need to have a printer driver installed on the system! And all this, is done using just a single line of code! No more pain with printing raw data or sending printer commands! Raw Data Printer is a unique component that enables you to control the entire range of printer functions directly from within your code by sending native printer commands (escape codes or any other commands) in any printer command language (e.g. standard ESC commands, ZPL commands, PCL commands, etc.). Moreover, it supports any custom printer commands not defined in any common printer command languages. Another great and unique feature of Raw Data Printer is its ability to send your data and commands to any printer installed on your machine, including any of your network printers. You just need to specify the printer name in a method argument when sending your data, and your data will be sent on-the-fly to that printer! Moreover, you can just specify a filename and the object will pick the data from the file and send it to the specified printer. Raw Data Printer also works with any normal printer (dot matrix printers, laser printers, inkjet printers, etc.). It supports both local printers as well as network printers. Local printers are supported on any port (COM ports, Parallel ports, USB ports, Firewire ports, etc.) Raw Data Printer can be used from any programming language that support ActiveX components (COM objects), such as VB (Visual Basic), VBA, VB.NET, C#.NET, VC++.NET, ASP (Active Server Pages), ASP.NET, HTML, MS Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint), VC++, Delphi, etc.
