Cut paper command for Epson POS from Crystal XI

[2juvenile]

I need to print a Crystal Report XI to an Epson POS printer. The report is complete, and it prints well, but I need to be able to force the paper to cut after each record is complete. I have been told that I need to create a formula field and place it in the report footer. I found code (CHR$(&H1D) & "V" & CHR$(66) & CHR$(0)) but cannot make it work properly. Can anyone set me straight?

force the paper to cut

Is this something different from 'New page'?

Paper cutting is totally separate from a new page. Thanks very much for your reply, but I did stumble upon an answer. I was trying to use printer commands for the POS printer via a formula field, but it wasn't necessary. It turns out that Crystal XI has it's own printer preference area that will allow you to cut the paper at any one of four areas. So my problem is solved. I found this solution just last night. Thanks again.

2juvenile -

Could you post more specific details on the "printer preference area that will allow you to cut the paper at any one of four areas"...?

Thanks,

For receipt reports (Epson TM-T88IV printer, for example), to get the printer to cut each page, from Crystal Reports go to

FILE
PRINT
PREFERENCES
OPERATION
END OF PAGE (or wherever you want it to cut)
Check the box that says Feed to cut position before cut and put the slider to partial cut.
