you have to define the datamax as a dumb printer , make sure to turn off 
the banner.
you have to have filepro create the label with datamax control codes.  we 
do it by creating a
file then lp the file you could do it by putting all the control code in 
you form but you would have to
put those codes in your printer definition.
