Parameters

  • kind
    Designates the effect of the point card.
  • horizontalPosition
    The horizontal start position for printing. The value is in MapMode units if CapPrintMode is true.
  • verticalPosition
    The vertical start position for printing. The value is in MapMode units if CapPrintMode is true.
  • data
    The data to print. Any escape sequences in the data depends on the capabilities of the device.

Remarks

To print on a point card, the CapPrint property must be true. To write the magnetic tracks on a point card, the WriteXData properties for each track must be set to the desired value, the TracksToWrite property must be set to a bitmask that indicates which tracks to write (see TracksToWrite for a complete description), and the CapTracksToWrite property must indicate that each track specified in TracksToWrite is legal.

PrintWrite may throw a PosControlException exception with the following ErrorCodes:
