General
A printer driver translates the graphical information displayed in your Mac application into a
printer friendly format. In order to properly format the data, the user must correctly establish
the page size and margins. In general, you should use the smallest margins which do not cause
the data to wrap around to the opposite side of the ticket. Apple supports the following methods
of defining page sizes:
• Vendor (BOCA) Defined - We have pre-defined some common page (ticket) sizes which
can be used with any Windows application. You must use a BOCA defined page size to
define your document. If you cannot locate the proper size, choose the next larger size
and use the margins to define your ticket size.
• Custom Size - This option does not work properly. We do not recommend the use of this
method.
