I am trying to print checks with a especial epson printer and I need to rotate de printing. So I need to print escape sequences. Is it possible…

Antonia,
It should be possible to print the escape sequences you need, but what you can and can't print does depend on the driver implementation. I think I remember hearing from some people that they couldn't print escape sequences, whereas others reported they could. I'd just make a quick and dirty little test with the Print_ functions to see if the particular codes you wish to use are allowable.

I assume you mean for someone to do it where you work? Nobody here can try it without:
a) having the same printer as you
b) having the documentation for that printer

Pedro,
If you are using the PRINT statement, just pass the string after an ESC character:
PRINTER ON
PRINT \1B\: Text
…
PRINTER OFF

Pedro,
\1B\ is the same as saying char(27) …
print char(27): Text
The char(27) tells OpenEngine that the rest of the string may contain escape codes that need to go to the printer. (That first char(27) does not go to the printer.)
