I don't understand your requirement. I think the command manual is for printing in dot matrix printer in dos mode?

this printer is much similar to FAX machine, which enhance text with heat rather than dot martix.
I take it as normal laser jet or ink printer and print data normal and well.
Now i need to do is "cut paper" when printing finished.
What knid of form my prg code block should be ?
Please help!

Since the printer is connected in LPT1 port, you can use the same command used in DOS mode here too. Had you tried?

do you mean like this?
SELECT PRINTER "TM200PLUS" to lSuccess;
ORIENTATION PRINTER_ORIENT_PORTRAIT;
PREVIEW;

@ m_row+m_interval*1,m_col PRINT "ABCDEFG" FONT "標楷體" SIZE 10
fwrite(lSuccess,Chr(29)+chr(86)+Chr(66)+Chr(48)) //Partial cut
fclose(lSuccess)

I had tried and fail too. I think it is because of error handle of printer.

Prior to HMG, had you used with Harbour code to print?

IMHO, you please try without any GUI component to print using console mode.

Hi!
Try this after your printing code.

SET CONS OFF
SET ALTE TO CUT.TXT
SET ALTE ON
?chr(27)+"i"+CHR(18) ///Cut if you can
SET ALTE OFF
SET ALTE TO
SET CONS ON
WinPrintRaw(cPrinter, "CUT.TXT", "CUT")

Hope that helps.
