Hi John Are you sure you need to do this? Can't you set the printer to auto cut? I've never seen the syntax Stewart presents, neither a method for sending hex (control) codes to a printer from Access. However, this page may help you: How do I Control an Epson Receipt Printer with Visual Basic? http://www.posworld.com/eprecprinvis.html It demonstrates the use of a special "Control font" which doesn't print but transforms some chars to some hex code sequences. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 24-08-2005 23:29 >>> I need to send a series of hex characters to an Epson receipt printer to execute the cutting. Hex characters are 1d 56 42 20 The printer is TCP/IP so I have an IP address stored in a table and hidden in a form that is open when the print command is executed. This is a Win98 environment. Does anyone already have something similar. John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
