>Thanks for your reply and advice. Could you inform me about the other speedy printing system. I have two printer: (1) TVS Dot Matrix and (2) HP 640C.
This must be some confusion. What I meant is that printing in text-mode is often faster, but that it doesn't work on all printers.
In both cases, you can test if you can send a text-file to the printer. In VFP, this might be with the "???" command.
You may also have to check the manual, to see if it is compatible with Epson; if not, what commands to use for special effects like bold, etc.
