I’m not smart enough to pull the init sequence off one of these files . . . is there a way to de-activate media type selection entirely? The idea is for the printer to handle that and see if it can select MK that way . . . or maybe I have to define it as a 9 channel printer instead of 8 . . . -Walker > On Nov 9, 2021, at 7:23 PM, Robert Krawitz <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 11/9/21 4:31 PM, Walker Blackwell wrote: >> Looking at an open source ESCP/R API it shows matte black as 0x0B which I think used to be photo glossy . . .

Current ESCP/2 channel addresses work for everything but MK and Violet. I can get my hands on these two printers I think though. I could also do the scrapes and send but I don’t have the knowledge to decipher the channels selection code myself. >>>>>> >>>>>> Sure, that would be great.
