UPDATING FIRMWARE, FONTS and FEATURES
Most features of the 24/44 and 26/46 printers can be updated through the printer’s communication port.
Boca has a customer program found on our website (www.bocasystems.com/news.html ) that allows the
customer to send a new firmware version directly to the printer without the need to open up the printer. After
updating successfully the printer will reset itself.
The printer will display the message Updating code while it is updating the firmware.
The printer will display the message Updating fonts while it is updating the fonts.
NOTE: If the main program ever gets corrupted to the extent to which it is no longer possible to update the code
by normal methods, the printer may be powered up in a special boot code mode to allow the re-installation of
the program software. To enter the boot, hold down all three front panel buttons while turning on the printer.
The display should say Boot40 - OK. The printer is now ready to accept new code.
Additional features may be added on a printer by printer by supplying a unique licensing number in combination
with the activation codes. Unique codes are required for each printer to be updated.
SOFT FONT CONVERSION PROGRAM
BOCA offers software that allows the customer to load any true type
font available through Windows into the printer. Please note that this program positions the characters in
accordance with the Windows font tables. DOS font tables are not directly supported by this program.
