Thanks Mark.

The printer acts like it is pre-programmed to cut at a certain point.

Do you shut the cutter off before printing and activate it when you are ready to cut?

I tried the VFP label generator to print receipt. It printed ok, but there was too long of a pause before it actually started printing.

>Yes OPOS is an industry standard. I just hava a SCAN/ENDSCAN that loops through all the records in my InvoiceItems cursor and prints all the lineitems on the receipt. After the ENDSCAN, I send lines for the sub-totals and receipt total and some other info lines. Then I issue the PaperCut command. There is absolutely no limit on the number of lines you can print for 1 receipt.

>You can not use a VFP report form to send output to the receipt printer. You write code that calls OPOS OCX methods to do all the outputting to the printer.
