You have to run your report in character mode 'cause only in character mode printer codes are interpreted as codes and will not be printed as strings.

-define a field in the layout

• look at its property sheet for printer codes.
• specif y aprinter code ex. &0815

thats all

If you are new in oracle reports a can guarantee you

             "much fun printing in character mode"

Tell me what has your printer to do ,what kind of code do you want to transfer .

Perhaps theres a way doing it in bitmap mode
