I have a Point of Sale(POS) Program which i have done in Visual Foxpro 7.0.In the printing of Receipts am using a Printer EP300 which has an Auto Paper Cutter.
How do i programmatically activate the Cutter to cut the paper after Printing a Single Receipt?
Which command or set of commands do i use in my printing procedure to Activate this Cutter Automatically?
 
Barno,

Check the settings of the printer driver. Chances are it has a setting that says to activate the cutter on receipt of a page feed.

Alternatively, check the documentation for the printer. You might have to send an escape sequence or other special characters to activate the cutter.

Mike
