Can anyone help me with this:

I purchased an order printer (Epson TM200) with the following specifications:
Baud Rate 19200 bps
Data Bits 8 Bits
Handshaking Hardware
Parity Check Disabled,
More specifications can be found on: http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/tsp600sm.pdf

I downloaded a class that handel the serial communications from:
http://www.ciemmesoft.com/componenti/  and I wrote this code:

       TCommPort *port = new TCommPort();
       AnsiString com = Edit6->Text;
       port->SetCommPort("COM1");
       port->OpenCommPort();
       port->SetBaudRate(19200);
       port->SetParity(2);
       port->SetStopBits(2);
       port->SetByteSize(8);

       String message = "Print this";       
       char *ch = message.c_str();
       port->WriteString(ch);

       port->CloseCommPort();
       delete port;

When I execute the code I don't get anything on paper. But when I change the String message to message = "Print this message \n"; I get some other funny characters printed on the paper (not Print this)

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
The paper is almost finished because I am trying from this morning.

Thanks
