printer

[CDAY]

Hi Tom,

Correct.  For this printer (which does only one point cuts),  the 
numbers are 1 for immediate cut leaving one point of paper or 3 to move 
to cut position, then cut, leaving one point.

I have left the dlips in Star mode rather than try the EXC mode.

Problem is the cutter does not respond to that command embedded in the 
print format.
