Yes, you can do this with a *WSCST, but it is not the best solution.
You have a better choice to code you hexa string directly in the PRTF (there is a keyword specialized).
AND
when CRTPRTF, add the parameter that permits the prtf to embbed hexa string (something like allow not printable char)
I have do this some years ago, it runs, I have forget the details.

Thank you all for you suggestions. I will look in to your ideas.

You will need to send the escape character using “transparency”.
First, either override the print file or change it to not replace unprintable characters.
OVRPRTF … RPLUNPRT(*NO)
Second, in you program, replace the excape character with x’03011B’.
The x’03′ indicates transparency. The x’01′ indicates how many bytes are transparent.
This will ensure that the escape character, the x’1B’, will not be translated to a space, x’40′.
The rest of the characters in the control string should be translated. Simply type them “as is”.
Concatenate the strings and place them in a printed field.
This works with all kinds of printer control strings.
Happy testing!

Here is some example code that worked for LinaVC.
d Esc c x’03011B’
d Str1 c ‘(201QX’
d Str2 c ‘(s0p2h72v0s0b201Tabcdef’
eval signature = Esc + Str1 + Esc + Str2
write record1
If you are using fixed format RPG, you will have to use the CONCAT op-code.

Has anyone programmed a font in a printer file that prints a signature? We have an HP4250 with a memory card containing this font. We were given by the vendor a control string to specify in the program. I think I need to customize a Work Station Customizing Object (WSCST) for the printer and for the new font, but cannot get past the syntax when specifying the vendors control string :
