This is an Access 2000/2002 VBA question that I have posted to numerous
Access forums with no answer received. I'm hoping that someone in this group
can help or knows of someone who can help.

I have a requirement to send a hex string to a POS receipt printer from Star
Micronics. Once the printer receives this character, it is supposed to cut
the roll paper. The vendor's tech support has been of little help. They
claim they are not programmers.

Question: I have tried inserting a text box control in the report footer and
inserting the hex characters in it via VBA code but this does not work. I
have tried using both a regular font and a control font that I presume was
installed with the printer driver.

What is the standard way used to send special control characters to a
printer? Should I be using a text box or some other control?

Thanks.
