DISABLE TEST TICKET ACKNOWLEDGE COMMAND - <dta>
This command returns the printer to the normal test ticket mode in which no ack character is sent.
SCALE DOWN COMMAND - <SD#> [not available on 22/24/26]
An FGL fonts may be scaled down to a fraction of its original size. The font will be divided by the # indicated in
the scale down command. This command may be used in combination with the <HW#,#> command to create
fractional multiples of font sizes. (e.g. - To scale a font to 2/3 its original size, send <HW2,2><SD3>.) NOTE:
The height/width command should be sent before the scaling command. (Now available with soft fonts.)
SHADE PATTERN IN BACKGROUND - <PAB> [not available on 22/24/26]

LOW VOLTAGE ENABLE COMMAND - <lve#>
This command adjusts the print intensity by varying the amount of time the print head voltage stays on at a
given speed setting. <lve0> is the default setting. The # value may range from –5 to +5. Positive #’s increase
the print intensity, while negative numbers decrease the intensity. Each number increase represents a 10%
change in value. Please note that this feature is intended to fine tune the intensity and not to compensate for
inferior and/or inappropriate ticket stock. Excessive manipulation of the print intensity via this command
will result in greatly decreased head life. When using this command with a dual printer, <lve#> will adjust the
print intensity on the active path. It is, therefore, recommended that the path command be sent immediately
prior to the <lve#> command to guarantee that the proper path intensity is selected.
TOP ADJUSTMENT COMMAND - <taj#> (New command)
Note: This command should only be used by an experienced user.
This command is used to adjust the top non-rotated printing position. A negative value will adjust the printing
position up and a positive value will adjust it down. Each adjustment unit is equal to 8 dots. For example, a
<taj2> command will adjust the top printing down 16 dots. Normally, there is a top margin (TOFF) and a bottom
margin (BOFF). If there is no top margin, the printing can not be adjusted up. If there is no bottom margin, the
printing can still be adjusted down but it will reduce the number of lines that can be printed on a ticket. The
adjustment values can range from -(the top margin amount) to +10. Normally, all you would need to use is
either <taj-1> or <taj1>. This command is saved in the flash and becomes permanent until a new <taj#>
command is sent. To return to the default setting send a <taj0>command.
USB INTERFACE IS Human Interface Device HID - <usbh> (New command 26/46 only)
Note: This command should only be used by an experienced user.
This command is used to set the USB interface into HID mode. This means when the printer is plugged into the
PC (or MAC) it will be installed as a human interface device. In this mode the printer communication is handled
as a HID, without printer drivers installed.
USB INTERFACE IS Printer - <usbp> (New command 26/46 only)
Note: This command should only be used by an experienced user.
This command is used to set the USB interface into PRINTER mode. This means when the printer is plugged
into the PC (or MAC) it will be installed as a printer. This is the standard default setting of all Boca Systems
USB printers. In this mode a printer is installed with a low level USB driver such as “USB Printing Support” and
then a printer driver on top of it.
