I think you probably have the "No FRO on Que" box checked in the General Configuration page.

HTH,

It seems to be working fine here but I am just using the standard Plasma screen as I dont have the MP1000-THC4a.set that you are using.
 Just as a test load the standard sceen and see if it works.

Hi, Dan

Tried your xml & G code files with ver .024 and ver .029, I did get a better result with ver .029's override, It got an increase with both ver's though.
Thing's sometimes get screwy now and then, Glad it's working now.
