There is no command to shut off the cutter. There is only a method call to the OCX CutPaper method [at least in my OPOS OCX Control]

PROCEDURE CutPaper
   WITH THIS.oleOpos
      IF .CapRecPaperCut
         .CutPaper(90)  && 90% cut
      ENDIF
   ENDWITH
   RETURN
ENDPROC

>>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.
