DRIVER COMMANDS (implemented November 2007 on new 26/46 printers)

In general, we discourage sending FGL commands from the driver as they lead to unexpected results.

However, the following commands were designed specifically for use with windows drivers. All of these

commands must be sent using one of BOCA’s resident fonts. (Mac and Linux drivers do not support resident

fonts.)

CUTTER COMMANDS

NO CUT MODE - <YNC>

This command places the printer into a “no cut” mode where a print command will cause the printer to

print without cutting the ticket. Please note that no other data should be sent on the same ticket as the

“no cut mode” command, as all other data on these tickets will be ignored.

CUT MODE - <YC>

This command returns the printer into its default “cut” mode where a print command will cause the

printer to print and cut the ticket. Please note that no other data should be sent on the same ticket as

the “cut mode” command, as all other data on these tickets will be ignored.

FORMATTING COMMANDS

FGL MODE - <FGL>

This command allows the user to format the ticket independently of the driver. Please note that data

sent in this mode will not be displayed in a WYSWYG format and may overwrite or intersect with the

data shown on your screen when printed. The primary purpose of this command is to facilitate the use

of rotated bar codes. The command should be sent at the beginning of a line (in a resident font) with

the bar code information immediately succeeded by the bar code information and an <NR> command.

The command sequence cannot extend beyond the end of the line. Each command sequence must be

placed on a new line with a separate <FGL> command. We suggest placing the <FGL> mode

commands at the end of your ticket separated from the remainder of your ticket data.

Normal ticket data – this can be in any font

<FGL><RC400,100><BI><NL8>*LADDER*<NR>

<FGL><RC400,400><NP8>*LADDER*<NR>

POSSIBLE FUTURE COMMANDS AND FEATURES

PROGRAMMABLE TEST TICKET

This command would allow the customer to design their own test ticket.
