Hello,

You should also only use fonts compatible to the printer this will speed up the printer (A lot). Also in the frx File Table Sort the record in such a way that they are order by position Left to right (This will stop the printer head to have to go left and right while printing)

Cheers

>>Hi all,

>Yes, there is a way to do it fast, you need it send direct chars like ( ???), or you can try DosPrint an great utility for dot-matrix printing, it will be so fast as DOS times!. You can find it at Victor Espina's Page, http://victorespina.coolfreepages.com
