If you have the documentation from the printer itself it may help (it usually contains basic codes). The {Esc}(1 and {Esc}(s are command prefixes. Everything until the next upper-case letter fit in that particular prefix. For example: {Esc}(s0P{Esc}(s12.00H is exactly equivalent to {Esc}(s0p12.00H ... and without the documentation, I won't try to remember the actual codes; sorry. > Vfp50 - does not have much on the subject. Not surprising. /Paul
